Awaiting Fate

Hanging by a thread

upside down

I see my possible fates

Some would describe it as inspiring

Others terrifying

I can't seem to decide

Opportunity surrounds me

As does fear

Both wait for me

expecting me to choose

both feeling confident that they'll be the one

Fear and I go way back

and opportunity is a distant relative

Where do I fit in?

The toys of distraction are becoming costly

An addiction lurks nearby

searching for it's next victim

I don't want to be saved

I just want to figure it out

Solve the puzzle

Winning the girl is too unreal

Maintaining my sanity through a hurricane of change

That's the real challenge
