The Burning Bush

Should I leave here
Should I go there
Will they like me
Will I like them
Will I manage
Will I persevere
What if I fail them
What if they fail me
Would they welcome me
Would I be judged 
Would I be secluded 
Would I be loved

What about my comfort zone
What about my safety blanket
What about my abilities and know how
What would this new risk cost me
Would I still wish 
Would my dreams change
Is this the right decision 
What about the short term
What about the long term
Do I even have goals?
Why now?

NJERI, A well pieced poem,second guessing every step, will only keep you from moving forward,and you only know by trying out, going out on a hand and a limp, some will love, some will hate but stay true to thy path... *******Blessings
