Should I

Should I?
Which way do I turn and what do, I do? 
I cannot decide what to do for you.
Why is it so hard to do this small task?
It’s not really much, not a big ask.
How would I start and how would I finish?
I’m not really good, my thoughts do diminish.
What can it be, that I can put down?
I ask heavens above, but no answers abound.
Should I or shouldn’t I, I really don’t know?
I’m scared of it now, I may make a show.
I’ll try really hard to do my best,
I know it’s all down to me.
But should I enter it, in the contest?
That is my dichotomy.

I was going to comment on this, but then I thought, Oh NO. I understood everything you said but I really didn't know. I could write 47 words on what this meant to me, but I'd have to take back 44 and maybe another 3. Dichotomy is a pain in the brain. Don't do that to me again. But if you do then that's OK. I understand your plan. Rockman :-)
