Decision
decision
leading to despair
leading to grief
leading to regret
decision
leading to hope
leading to happiness
leading to love
my decision
insurmountable
my decision
hard to make
my decision
no one can help
its something i have to make
on my own
my decision
isn’t easy
my decision
affects others
my decision
must be made
oh lord, help me
is my decision right?
oh well, it’s made now
i must move on
i can’t help but wonder
i can’t help but ponder, though
is it the right one?
which way do i turn?
which road do i take?
the road less travelled
where the grass is overgrown?
if i choose that way
if i choose this way
what will happen?
what then?
what now?
i need some guidance
but it’s so hard to ask
i need some guidance
but it probably won’t help
my decision is hard
my decision isn’t easy
i thought i knew the way
turns out i don’t
thought i knew the path
i can’t, i won’t
now i’m walking
down it, blindfolded
clinging to security
in my insecure world
my little, insignificant world
i feel like a tiger
trapped in a cage
itching to get out
itching to be free
my decision, it traps me
i can go on, and on
and on, and on, and on
but in the end
it comes down to one thing
i have to make my decision
eventually
cause that’s what life’s about
a series of decisions
leading to one thing
definitely, deathly
so my decision, here it be made
and you as my witness can see
quite plainly
which way i’m taking
which road i’m going down
watch where it leads me
i might be surprised…

Sorry, I didn’t really like it. It’s not THAT bad lol, but it just seemed like it went on and on.

mmm, nice poetry ^^ I don’t think I’d ever be able to share my own poetry with the world! To me, poems are very passionate, personal thing and I’m a naturally indrawn sort of person so its hard to share things like that.
I can really empathize with the feeling of this poem :) There are so many moments in the day when I’m caught by indecision. But when you make up your mind and choose one path over the other it always feels good to me. Even if seems that you’ve made the wrong choice, the important thing is that you’re moving forward and on to something new xD
