dilemma

dilemma

i calculate and analyze
evaluate and agonize,
knowing some will criticize
the best decision.

how i seek to ease my mind.
wherein will relief i find?
why must the future be so blind
to a decision?

so it is i sit and stew,
wondering what i should do.
should i please myself or you
in this decision?

i should give up. i must confess
my thoughts are really such a mess.
i'm drowning in this helplessness
of indecision.

really, this is just too much!
i cannot cope! i'm losing touch;
but i'll not lean upon the crutch
of no decision!

..now if my life appears to drift
as i forever sit and sift
my mind in hopes i'll find the gift
of right decision,

i hope the world will compensate,
that someone else will pull the weight
and leave me free to meditate
on my DECISION.
