Is it really so black and white?
A choice so unusual?
Not common?
The answer is no.
But yet,
I hesitate.
Should I?
Shouldn’t I?
I am in two minds
No matter how hard I try.
The fear is holding
Me back.
Do I risk it?
Lose face if I fail?
Or put myself out there,
Lest I prevail?
Deadline is looming.
But words won’t flow.
My head all
cotton-woolly.
Stop! Get going…
But confidence eludes me
Where it should not.
I’ve lost belief.
Given over instead
To the fear
Of what might,
Or might not be.
