Nathan Leccese Poet Rhyme

Ride the Fence

Here I stand on top of a fence,
   can’t make up my mind in my defense.

Looking left then looking right,
   wondering if staying would cause blight.

Maybe I can just stay where I’m at,
   walking the fence with grace as a cat.

What if I let someone else decide,
   as I put my opinion aside?

Would that save me the trouble,
   and help me stay in my bubble?

For I can’t let anyone inside,
   or my entire world would collide.

I could make my own decision,
   but then that might cause division. 

What if my decision is wrong,
   would the road be extremely long?

This choice that I have to make,
   is heading straight for a mistake.

So here I sit on top of this fence,
   trying to rely on my sixth sense. 

Planting myself not making a move,
   changing nothing trying to improve.

Carolyn Devonshire June 9, 2009 at 4:26 PM Wow, can I relate to this one, Nate! I hate making decisions -- sometimes just choosing an item from a menu takes so much thought. Perhaps you overthink things as much as I do, but you certainly capture that feeling of wondering what to do and what the consequences will be if it's a major life decision. Excellent write! Love, Carolyn
