I'M Uncertain About the Direction

I'm uncertain about the direction.
It's hard to determine, which way I need
To go. I know who is going with me, but
It's up me to decide.

The decision must be precised.
I can't afford the roll of the dice.
It's a challenge, I can only imagine,
It's like sitting on ice. My ideas are
There, but frozen in time. Only because
I can't make up my mind.

I know what I must do, I see it,
It's directly in front of me
But I can't reach it.
It's harder than you think.
If it was easy, it would already be done.

It bothers me more than you know.
I need to be all I can be.
Sometimes I don't know if I 
Can pull it off. 
There are things that hold me back.

It's not easy doing what you must
When not being able to afford
The things you need. 
I cry on the inside, you can't see it.
It's there, silently through the pain
I yell, praying to God for his help.

I keep hope close to me.
Try in believing that it will
Get better, that my dream
Of giving my family everything they
Need will happen.
