Decissions Poem by Kathryn Brookins

My mixed emotions are tearing me apart inside,
I don't know what to do, being pulled in different directions..
This feels like a large rollercoaster ride...
my mind does not know how to choose the selections.

I want one thing, need another, and yet, long for another...
I wonder if I go through this alone,
Or am I going through the same as my Mother.
I must not become hard and turn my heart to stone.

Yet, I am torn... so shredded torn,
I want to believe, I want to take a chance,
But I do not dare to be scorn.
I want to be able to relax and dance...

But I am torn... stuck in this chair,
unable to move..
for afraid of my stair
fear that I might lose.

Making a decission... and hoping it is right
is so scary, when I have chosen wrong before...
But I take a chance... set your sight...
make my decission, and open that door.

Now I just hope it was the right one....
so my nerves stay in tact and not come undone.

Life is scary... decisions to be made everyday...
mistakes are often enough,
but making decissions is the only way....
to live through life whether clear sailing or rough.
