A New Choice
If a man want something he’s never had
He has to do something he’s never done
That means makin choices that he never made before
Doing something that opens a new door
Live a new way to have a new day

I’m at a turning point in my life and this actually really inspired me. I’m in full support of this program.
That’s some pretty deep stuff. Many people never make the connections that you’ve made, and the raw feeling definitely comes through in your poetry. If a man can realize that he’s on the wrong path and self-correct, that man is headed for greatness. Stay your course, look for those doors, and find your success. The right choices are never the easy choices, and it seems that you’ve begun making the right ones.
I’ve always found doing new things difficult so thank you for writing this!
“Live a new way to have a new day” – I have never heard this expression but I find it interesting because every day feels like a new day when it’s really not unless you change what you do!
I wish you the best of luck in your new days to come!

That’s a powerful piece! It really speaks to the idea of growth and stepping out of your comfort zone. Making those bold choices can lead to amazing new experiences! Keep up the inspiring writing!
