What if I don't?
What if I do?
No matter the choice
of what I pursue
To be alone or be lonely
What kind of option is that?
Neither appeal to me
Both of them fall flat
Alone doesn't suit me
Lonely makes me blue
What choice do I make
I haven't got a clue
The one is just that - alone
Wrapped up in my head
No one to share my dreams
I may as well be dead
The other doesn't excel
Lonely, what a chore
I wouldn't rate much better
On this option's score

A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules or limitations. [1] The term was coined by Joseph Heller, who used it in his 1961 novel Catch-22. An example is Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success: "How can I get any experience until I get a job that gives me experience?"
