#decisions poems on Hello Poetry

nance Nov 2019

i think every night
tomorrow i'll be real
and stop acting like a fool.
i'll be my serious self,
leave the sugar at the door.

yet with the sun comes
the amnesia
"who am i?"
those three precious seconds,
then
"oh no"
i remember.

i dread the day.
the brushing of teeth
drinking of water
checking of phone
eating of pasta i will never finish

No Not Me... Not Ever

Have you...

Held a stranger like your life depended on it?
Cried on the shoulders of someone you didn’t know?
Shown your dark soul to the world?
Kissed someone that you just met?
Given yourself to the person who didn’t deserve it?
Loved someone that didn’t or couldn’t return the sentiment?
Hurt so bad that you questioned if you’d die?

No not me… Not ever… you?

We’re both horrible liars.

The Wrong One (Maybe Not)

When I met you I knew what the end would be
I knew this was temporary at best

People like us don’t get the fairy tale
Happily ever afters are for normal people

You told me all about your past
It was all too easy to predict your future

I accounted for everything in that moment
I accounted for everything except for my heart

I never meant to do this
Why did we fall in love?

At least we had us
Even if just for a breath of time

To anyone who has ever fallen in love with the wrong person

Captive Thoughts

I have words that I just can’t say
I’m not even sure if they’re true
The thought of them terrifies me

I keep them locked up in my head
Sometimes they get out and roam
Those are the days I’m afraid of the most

What would happen if I stopped and listened?

How Do I Choose

To take this or to take that
To decide can be a fast track
To the better or the worse
To a blessing or to a curse
Which decision do I make?
How to know which path to take?

Only I can decide for myself, but it's so hard to know to stay or go

Tell Me

Tell me what to do
So I can do the opposite

Tell me what I want
So I know I don’t want it

Tell me what to say
I’ll find my voice another way

Tell me what’s right for me
I’ll find out what left for me

I don’t know what I like
Until I know what I don’t like

Tell me what to think
What to drink, what to wear

Tell me that I don't care,
That I can’t spare the time

Tell me what I don’t need
And where not to go

Tell me what I don’t want -
I really need to know

One day at a time.

How do you know.
How should I know.
How do they know,
and they do know.

Forward or back.
Leap or linger,
Gift or a curse.

Fear of falling.

Questions of the over analyser.

Think

It's not that I can't think,
Or I'm lost in my thoughts,
It's because I didn't have the courage to trust my decisions,
Because no one believed in me,
I was always a second choice,
I thought it was better not to raise my voice.

Any suggestions or corrections for usage of words would be appreciated x
