Decisions


Decisions, decisions, what shall I do?

I know the answer, and I’ll see it through.

 

I didn’t want to quit, not at this time,

But, don’t cross the line, not on my dime!

 

My mind will not change, once I have locked it,

And you’ll definitely feel it, straight in your pocket!

 

I’m relinquishing a lot, that’s what I’m doing,

It’s a great sacrifice although it’s not showing.

 

The pain is as rough as tumultuous weather,

Releasing what I love, for something that’s better.

 

Integrity, self-respect, this I must honor,

To your contention I won’t be a donor.

 

Yes, down this road, I have been before,

Only this time, it shocked to the core!

 

You’ll never acknowledge what you have done,

And, if I explain, you’ll admit to no wrong.

 

Don’t worry, it is just part of life’s story,

No need for apologies, this time, I’m the one that’s not sorry.

 

Decisions, decision, I know what to do,

You see…only to Self, one must me true!
