I can cry about what happens to me
Forgetting to live each moment like the last
I can complain until I drive everyone away
Making them dislike me as much as I do
I can be depressed and lose all hope
Slit my wrists while my life flows out
I can be angry and hurt those I love
Destroying myself while polverizing everything
I can give up everything I've ever wanted
And never try anything that I want to do
I can hide away like a scared rabbit
Losing all confidence as I cower in the corner
I can pretend that this didn't happen
Wrapping myself into a tangled web of lies
Or I can tear up the paper and pull out a clean sheet
Fixing my mistakes and accepting what I am

Very good poem,
It built up to the ending really well.
Excellent Job!
