We are making choices every instant, sometimes we are not even aware of it because it has become a "habit" or the things we do have become so mundane we hardly bothered. Sometimes we are faced with big decisions (read choices). Buying a house. Uprooting and emigrating. Marriage. A choice that can have a big impact on your life
This poem is about choice, or rather how someone can influence it.
I am posting this for the prompt at dVerse.

Brian,
thanks for visiting. i was writing from my experience, and it was a "what if" type of scenerio that i wanted to convey.
thanks for the suggestion to post at dVerse's open link night. :)
Ravenblack,
did the word "knives" give you a clue? :)
i am not posting much lately, the work in the office is knocking me out.
the whole poem is cool, but this line nails it:
my path would have been lined with knives
thanks, Ollie, for the visit.
it was a choice of a straight path or a crooked road. :)
I, too, love the knives . . .
Hmm, the knives..
