Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Verse

Vegetated Indecision

Am I staying or leaving?
I don’t know
Am I coming or going,
which way do I go?
So many decisions
bombarding me every which way
Will I leave tomorrow,
or should I’d left yesterday?
	I’m caught in a conundrum,
	seeing Stevie Wonder inner vision
		Facing a catatonic meltdown,
		in a state of vegetated indecision
Am I a man or am I a mouse,
should I go outside 
or should I stay in the house?
Should I go knock on the door,
or call on the phone?
Gotta make decisions everyday — 
but I don't know which one might be wrong
I’m stuck in a dilemma, at the crossroads
Got no map to show me which way to go
Perhaps the flip of a coin will let me know ... 
maybe not, maybe so
	Facing an existential crisis 
		of life changing dimensions,
	got a batch full of vegetated indecisions
Does she like me,
do I like her?
Is this the right fit, I'm not sure
Do I stand up for myself,
or do I always bend?
Am I getting too fat,
am I getting too thin?
Will it be waffles and chicken,
	or eggs and steak
There are so many dietary decisions to make
Do I stay heart smart or go fast food,
be strictly vegan or do buffet menu? 
	I’m trapped on a spinning carousel,
	giving me vertigo blurred vision
		Am I going up or am I going down?
		I’m a Ferris wheel of vegetated indecision
Can’t seem to make up my mind
with any authority
The only thing I do know for sure is,
don’t pull the plug, please!

White Wolf July 4, 2017 at 10:57 AM Sounds like you are in need of deep meditation, RW! But seriously, I wouldn't dare pull the plug on such a terrific writer, my friend! You are a sacred clown! And that's a compliment mate, Black Elk was one too! A medicine man
