Indecision about which road to take that leads to the future.

Image via Wikipedia

 

Uncertain of the road before me.

How much further can it be?

Indecision saturates me with discouragement.

All that I come up with lacks encouragement.

What is my purpose in this life?

Surely it is more than being a mother and wife?

So much more that I want to do,

but ideas elude me and I have no clue.

I’m desperate for a decision.

I do seek a vision,

to show me which turn to make.

For sanity sake.

I must think of a plan,

but I don’t know if I can.

My self-esteem is low.

My mind says to go.

My mind says to stay.

Depression sometimes reacts this way.

Back and forth,

to and fro.

How can I expect to fully grow?

The decisions before me are mine to make.

No matter how long they might take.

I will gather the substance inside 

and do what I must for pride’s sake.

Considering all that is amiss,

I must not tarry, but react in a hurry,

and hopefully stop the senseless worry.

    DB – An outstanding poem depicting the struggle of decision and guidance…like the question about the road not taken. Pray that the turn you make brings great reward and much peace and happiness into your life. I really liked this poem…you are a true wordsmith who has obviously learned your craft extremely well. Thank you.

    I know that decisions are hard to make…your inner voice may opens the door to your own wisdom.!
