I've Got To Decide

I've Got to Decide Standing at the edge of this rugged cliff Staring into the gaping, endless unknown below I'm shaking like a leaf Anticipation? Dread? Chills from a draft I'm not even sure exists? Deep breath, sniff, shuffle my feet They feel so stiff There's not much time, not much time I've got to decide My head is exploding, my stomach a knot Will this be the seed of my grief Or a rewarding harvest of my belief My hesitation must be brief There's not much time, not much time I've got to decide A stolen moment behind my eyelids, no relief The earth is shifting from under my feet I cannot ride the drift forever, destiny is a cleverer thief The merciless banter grows louder There's not much time, not much time I've got to decide Time’s run out, this is it I can step out, jump, dive or be thrown over Yet another decision There's not much time, not much time I've got to decide Author: Nyasha .Y.
