11 Choices

I am a binary man 
seeing the world simplified 
Everything would be so much easier
if it was made of ones and zeros 
If all choices were right or wrong 
all answers yes and no. 
In a binary world there would be no maybes
There would be no what if's


There would also be no love 
no passion 
no beauty 
no creativity
It is the gray area that defines us 
It is the unpredicatability that makes us 
Its the uncertainty that drives us 
giving us hope and pushing us to better ourselves 
I don't want my binary world with only two paths 
I want the third path 
I choose life.
