Dilemma

Standing at a crossroads
pondering my dilemma
-wether to
remain with
the known,
familiar
- those old comfort
zones
or-
to veer wildly
and risk it all...
Yes, I know
change
is intimidating
but also that it
liberates
and sometimes is necessary...
Young,
I threw
caution
to the wind
embraced
spontaninity
but
now,
leeriness
numbs me
with those silent
"what ifs..."
And I weigh
pros and cons
ruminate endlessly,
each day
seeking signs
- a message,
some form of guidance.
Afraid of making
the wrong choice
I leave things to
"destiny"
- a roll of the dice,
I resign myself
to
patience and prayer.
But,
still I teeter
on a precipice,
perplexed
not knowing to-
relax
or to run.
