I Did Not Choose

I did not choose to come here
did not choose to have so much fear

I did not choose to lose friends
I did not choose for people to live in dens

I cannot choose for all the money in the world
I cannot choose to have a pet axolotl

I cannot choose to drive to Starbucks
I cannot choose for it to be raining

So I will choose to stay here
So I will choose to make a fresh start
