What To Do

What to do what to do
A beautiful sexy woman besides me
My future ahead of me
She want me to stay and stay true

I am expected to take care of my siblings
Little brother needs to be taken care of
Little sisters don’t want to eat chit lings

So what to do, what to do
Do I stay or should I go?
Do I just pretend that it won’t affect me when I leave?
Should I let her know that we can never be?

Should I have never walked up to her?
Should I have never gotten her number?
“Girlfriends at this stage of life are pointless”

My cousin tells me to focus on school
Gotta stay focused don’t want to miss life
Plus if I stay I might blame her for my failures

Life is all about choices, I should pull the band aid quickly
Sure there might be a little pain but that is always expected
That’s what I get for being unprepared, if I am lucky
She will hate me and that will make it easier
She will forget me soon enough right?
Maybe an elaborate plan will be simpler

Maybe I can get her to see my bad side
I can do something horrid
I can accomplish it if the right pressure is applied
