Sometimes I'm afraid to decide
For fear I will make a mistake
But I have found nowhere to hide
For hiding is a choice I make
I try to hem, I try to haw
I try to stall, to delegate
But making decisions is not
Simple to circumnavigate
Should I blink once?
Should I blink twice?
With every step I roll the dice
I cannot count the consequences
Never know who pays what price
But silence is a message
And there's meaning hidden in elision
Saying that I won't decide
Is still no less of a decision
Still I am afraid to speak
Unknowing what it will inspire
Like a dragon afraid to breathe
Lest it should set the world on fire
And slowly I have learned to try
To take the step
To roll the dice
And slowly I have spread my wings
I have decided
I will fly
