In The Midst of a Decision

Hopes are held high
Peer pressure hangs low,
Some people can't find,
Some struggles where to go

Was it always this complicated?
Why can't we decide,
They say to be yourself,
But how can we with all the standards on the side

We are who we decide,
To decide is the decision,
But what do we do if unable to make,
When answers are led to me, something just breaks

I have it all in my head,
I have it all laid out
It's like lightning strikes me
And I'm left in doubt

Doubting what to say
Doubting what to do
These mixed feelings got me all confused,
Not knowing what to do

If I say a word or even two
Would they argue?
Or would they appreciate the truth?
Would they feel out of place?
Is it worth taking photos in this awkward photo booth?

Someone tell me what on Earth should I do?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
