We always have a choice.

It doesn't matter
What others may say otherwise,
Or if the situation you're in
Is so bad that
You have to drop down
To the levels of
Bitterness and anger.

You can't blame
Other people,
No matter how much
Of an asshole or a jerk
They may seem,
For your changed,
Antisocial and angry behavior.

That was your choice, not theirs,
To do just that....
