we must choose

Be quiet. Do not be selfish. Never have a voice. Do not complain. these are the things you must do to be held in high regard. If it hurts grin and bear it. If it's wrong ignore it, and submit to authority, no matter the abuse of power, and you will climb high on the social ladder. Do not slander a mans good name, even though it has become good under false pretense. When someone ask how you are, never tell them the truth, or you may loose a connection in society. You may need that later.
But, I ask, what do I need from society that I cannot make for myself? Do I really care what society says it can do for me? Or for that matter, what it THINKS of me? All society does is bleeds my soul dry, One drop at a time, until I am a complete social zombie. It rots every thing I am from the inside out. Until I become just one more snobbish drone, numbed by pain and fear from the powers that be corrupt.
Why work so hard to gain favor from the man? F**k the man! I do not need your approval or any strength that YOU think that YOU can give to me. If anything you drain my strength, and anything good that was once in me. There is life in this shell of mine yet, and it grows stronger every day and at the right time, in it's season, it will tear all those walls built in my mind, and around my heart by the evil that is you.
I will be frowned upon in society, and I will be talked about in a most unsavory way, but that will not stop me, because those who choose to do so are the drones who cannot think for themselves. I will not hold a grudge, for I know they are controlled by their insecurities, their fears of not being accepted into society, and being separated from the pack, just like I had been at one time. And I know that they too can, and maybe they will, one day CHOOSE , to live their own life, without fear of judgment, or torment from the other drones. But as for me, TODAY I CHOOSE my life to be my own. Governed by me...

We all choose who will influence our lives. By not choosing we are making the choice to allow chaos to influence all we do, and who we become. Choose only those influences who you know can be trusted with your very life. I choose God and myself. Who will you choose?
