A Dilemma
Do I enter this contest?
Or do I defer?
The pros and cons battle
And will not concur.
On the one hand, you'll judge me -
I hate to be judged.
Is that reason enough
That my "No" won't be budged?
On the other hand, well,
I love challenge and dare;
And not winning is something
I think I can bear.
So I sit here just mulling,
My nerves getting frayed;
'Til I realize that somehow,
My choice has been made!
