Trepidation--A Poem
Trepidation

The line looms before me,
A dark gash in the sand,
Demanding I make a choice
And declare where I stand.

Which decision to make?
Which side to stand on?
For once I make my choice,
The other will be gone.

Do I proceed forward?
Or merely need to stay back?
Does indecision keep me frozen?
Or is it courage that I lack?

But time waits for no man.
A decision must be made.
Do I take the step forward
Or make do with that I stayed?

For once I make my choice,
Nothing will ever be the same.
I could lose everything in a instant
Or in a instant everything gain.
