Decisions
it is easy to wonder at the canal bridge
and the the direction to take
should i steer?
should i wait?
it’s easier to follow the waterfall
but much harder to act
i did read the synopsis
but i could not believe the facts
and why do grapes not just land in your lap?
i pushed and i pushed
i screamed and i screamed
i cannot imagine ever stopping
it’s easy to wonder at what paths life has taken
especially those decisions
which we were so naively driven
especially when those parents –
were so easily mistaken
should i steer?
real of fake?
get and go forwards or should i just wait?
