I have many things I love that isn’t a person.

How do I pick just one?

Books

You are always there

When I want to go on an adventure

When I want to get lost

In a world

That isn’t reality

I can make friends

That won’t hurt me

Songs

Make me feel

Seen

Make me feel

Loved

With every lyric

With every cord

Music can make people

Feel things

That they need to feel

It can heal

Memories

They can hurt

That’s true

Sometimes you want to forget them

That’s true

But they can be beautiful

Happy

Sad

Angry

Hurt

They can all be in one memory

One moment

That can change

Your

Life

Animals

True we can’t understand them

But they are always there

We can learn a lot from them

We can be a lot like them

The ants show us how to work together

The wolfs show us the meaning

If loyalty

The lions show us how to be brave

The monkeys show us how to have fun

They can show us so many things

We just have to listen

So how do I choose just one thing

My books

My songs

My memories

My animals

Are all a part of me

So I won’t choose

I can’t choose

And neither should you

You shouldn’t have to choose between things

That make you happy

You don’t have to choose

No matter how hard things get

No matter how much you drift

The things that make you happy

Even if they make no sense to me

If it’s important to you

It is to me too

So don’t choose

Because you deserve

Better
