Decisions
April Camejo
May 28, 2015

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!

Hi SKAT! How does one determine what type of "verse" to categorize their poem? There are so many choices!
