Options, a concept so grand,
An illusion that holds us in its hand.
We think we have a choice to make,
But in reality, it's just a fake.
We see a world full of opportunities,
With endless options for our realities.
But with each option, comes a price,
And genuine people often get lost in the vice.
The more we try to find our way,
The harder it becomes each day.
We're torn between what we want and what we need,
And the reality of our true selves begins to recede.
The illusion of options got us out here fumbling,
Lost in a world that's constantly tumbling.
We try to make the right choice,
But sometimes the price is too high, and we hear our inner voice.
So let us not forget what's real,
And what truly makes us feel.
For in the end, it's not the options we choose,
But the path we follow that we can't lose.
