River

I wanted to become better 

but I didn’t know how

wanted to move forward 

but didn’t know where

gifted with so many options 

desperately wanting to do it right 

i stood at the crossroads 

dazed and confused

Contemplating and pondering 

wrestling with my doubts 

Left or right

In the end

I stood there forever

Time swept past my bones

Life left and moved on

And so I remained

Trapped by indecisiveness

Never moving forward
