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!

Decision making...it's already a big challenge to start a day...I play safe and stay in comfy zone. Age too plays a part. I just avoid addi. stress. Your poem is just so inspiring. :)

dear Freddie, this time you've got my poetic tongue quaking. Faced with all these decisions, dont know whether to stay or go? Either way this has got to be a fav. Sheer genius you are with words...Maria

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
