#indecisiveness
Just a step away But also leaps between In just a night's thought Or a morning's haste We are found far away Taken from where we used to be Have we done this? Or was it done to us? We grew in it or raised it The shapes of future The hopes and dreams Mixed into a sacrifice Was it meant to be Or were the pieces brought together By our own faults and makeshift batches The globe seems brighter But it has a grey hue Of what it used to be Not sure wether the colours were brighter before Not something worth remembering But always finding it here and there The hues of the past The sunrise seems brighter here Even with the clouds from the night Are there hidden stars there? As if we are always waiting for them to shine back to us But it's only a moment's glimpse From a previous night Not meant to be today I go back and thrown in the present again A present I created I'm thrown back and forward Wanting both the same I go to the past it's too much And the future is too little

What we become
She sent the I L Y with a quote unquote How do I get so high While I stay so low? Know that I'll run out of time, before I run out of hope One last kiss her goodbye, Can taste the lump in her throat Her jacket's still down in my kitchen, she ain't ready to go I try to lead her away With all the words I don't say My brain it wants her to go My heart it wants her to stay When I look in her eyes Can tell she's feeling the same Her face won't show her dismay But she's got tears on display Her heart is wired to her body but her face to her brain pressure and motion okay I'd cross an ocean for "hey" All types of emotion morphing into foreplay An olive branch in her mouth as she's flying, my love She's been my symbol of peace So I've called her my Dove I could never let go, no her hand was my glove I did so much that I'd die but it was never enough I try to lead her away with all the words I don't say My brain it wants her to go my heart it wants her to stay

You still up?
There was once a man lost at the crossroads who pondered which road to behold. He hesitated to walk down a single path, fearing how long the roads would last. In his mind, he recalled the voice of a friend who was willing to guide him to the end. They said “There’s no need to go alone. Whichever path you take, you’ll find your way home.” With nothing to lose, the man took his stride down a path he could take without too much pride. Though he knows not his destination, he still walks, knowing that there is light to guide him in the dark. Whatever clouds may gather above, he can be reassured that he is loved.

The Man at the Crossroads
Miserable I am, stucked. My mind's wynds, entwined. Inside burning, being indecisive. Attempted to decipher, all in vain. A maze unsolved; the unsaid pain Perplexed **** thoughts' umbra Darking in pursuit of seeking. The more they amalgamate; the more I Separate Wretched. Same do all bear? Distracted by despair; I ended up nowhere.

At the precipice of havoc
My indecision is deciding for me I remain Stuck in this place of purgatory I remain All dark with no light and sleep without rest I remain Both horns and halos but no devil or angel I remain Sailing from star to sea in celestial form adrift I remain

I Remain
The sound of a knock The ring of a clock, Is what’s steady in my conscience. I feel lost in time My Key of logic, declined, All I have is a key that reads nonsense. I’m Not Verbal nor combative Thoughts of myself, a tummy of laxatives, I’m always alone I can’t lean on the fence. One side was the sun but It comes with the rain, my side rains and pours but no light comes my way. Wish I could be the tide, living is boring, I’ll just lay and I’ll sleep, I hope my heart will stop the snoring.

Mindful Deflation
Without within who knows what That the knot inside wants you to want? Is it hard knock blunt force Or a gentle heart?

Enigma
This word of wander, Not as easy to do As it may be to ponder One life full of dreams Another filled with distraction, Makes it hard to choose teams, Without choosing destruction Go where the money is? And risk losing myself? Or go with my heart, My passion, My desire, And ask, ‘What if?’ But ‘What if?’ I will ask regardless... Either path will leave me with wonders- But which to follow? If I go with one, I may become hollow... If I go with the other, My bank account may be swallowed... Can one do both? Or does authenticity risk fading? Distraction... Destruction... Focus. Decide. To try is to decide. To know is to have done. To love is to know. Do I know what I love? Do I know what I want? Try. Decide. Focus.

Balance?
I’m stuck between impatience and time moving too fast. If only certain moments could hold off and last, Yet let me be the first to set the record straight. I know that, in the end, it will all be worth the wait. I’m not here because I want to relive the past. While times have been perfect, the idea is too vast: To stay where you are, red, and not look for what’s ahead. However, why is the future an idea i’m urged to dread? While this time is exciting, and often inviting, I see the circumstance filled with crying and spiting. No, I’m not scared, or maybe I was. I’ve learned that I can’t live that way, only because I’ll suffer that way in this current time I’m in, And living right now is already hard enough to begin. I’m not here to sulk, i’m not here to brag. I’m just impatiently enduring the drag Of time, of now, wanting it to slow to yellow, While I’m eager, insisting on life’s green light, “go.” Time, a constant thing, still looks me in the face To say, “you think you know it all, but I will set the pace”. No matter the task, the toll, the race, I’m in it for the ride. Meanwhile, I’ll tell my impatient indecisiveness that it’ll have to subside. Maybe time is like traffic. “Do I gas it, or hit the breaks?” Either way, I’m afraid of collisions, so that’s a risk I just won’t take.

Time is like Traffic Lights
I’m indecisive, I act indecisively but today, I have decided not to fight people, Have decided not to argue with people, Have decided not to hate other people, Have decided not to compete with them, But I did be in despair, for I fear my weakness, i may be tempted to decide, but if I’m tempted to decide, i will decide not to decide. I suffer from indecision but for now, I have decided not to be jealousy, Have decided not to be greedy, Have decided to be selfish, Have decided not to do all of that, But I did be in despair, for I fear my weakness, i may be tempted to decide, but if I’m tempted to decide, i will decide not to decide.

I will decide not to decide
*I don't do this much It happens too often Maybe i should hide Or scape from my torments I know you could be The best of my memories All i have from you A perpetual hallucination It is all i need I don't seem to want it I don't try to hard Or do anything about it Like a little kid Want it back when you can't have it I will not regret Though change is an option Maybe I should leave But i found a solution It's true thinking can be Such a big torment What we should all do Is just live in the moment*

The moment
i can't decide if it's better to embark on a new normal or to live in a bubble of dwindling, stolen moments

Indecisiveness (10W)
I long to travel, but for a place to call my own. I wish to find true love, but for solidarity. I dream of spontaneity, but of stability. Everyday, nostalgic, but dreaming of tomorrow. Praying for simplicity, if not for contradiction.

Contradictions
Indecisiveness             enough as it is, I stay in the confines of my comfort, choices I begun to prolong. Waiting for something probably won’t come. I walk back and forth, And climbing ladders                - up and down,        an unchanging routine     draining the life-force          of my pretend smile. Sluggishly the plot-holes        starts to appear    messing the careful laid-out script                  I master to act. Barriers starts to crack, little by little I gather the courage    to put the imaginary duck-tape    to hold them together        a little while longer until the final choice, is made sure without fear and hesitation.

Indecisiveness
Don't deflect my insecurities Acknowledge them for they are real Don't brush aside my inadequacies I can't help the way I feel Hugging myself close, searching for reassurance Through tear-stained glass I grief strickenly see Seemingly I've lost my tight-rope balance Clambering up ever so desperately May think I'm wilful Because I often get consumed Don't judge me unstable Just dormant emotions exhumed Place a palm against my chest Between sobs, my heart beats strong Laying my turbid mind to rest As I whisper me the comfort that I long Don't be afraid of me I know I tend to get lost Alone in my storm swept dinghy Susceptible to the chills of frost I can't control, I get carried away With the dream I'm set to pursue I can't curb or hold myself at bay I'm weak because I haven't got a clue...

Weak
**** the way you say nonsense syllables because it makes me weak in the knees. Your verbalization of a non-vernacular, space-filling, time-stealing thought makes me melt like Popsicle Boy’s spine when he realized he couldn’t chase the lightning bug anymore. You’re just two steps shy of blind in more ways than one, and your ribcage is such a terrible pillow. Um.
