Best Indecisive Poems
I once was quite indecisive
but now I am not so sure,
I’ve got to make my mind up
but it’s a downright chore!
So when two choices are offered
and I’ve got to choose some cake,
I’ll cut a slice off each of them
I can’t afford to make a mistake!
If I post this in Constance’s contest
it’s early days, it’s not a race,
but if I hesitate for a moment
I may be tardy and not get a place!
Perhaps I should pen another poem
but then again I’d have to choose,
If I were to chose the other one
she may not like it and I’d lose!
Once I was quite indecisive
but now I’m not very sure,
so I really must make a decision
but it’s turned into an arduous chore!
Contemplating contemplations, wondering if sunset is my shade
The Indecisive State of My Life
Like the rainbows of the sky,
Like the new moon before each month of Phoebe,
My life switches, dusk to dawn, dawn to dusk
I’m confused.
What is next? What coming next?
What is preset for me?
Will you answer, oh dear Forgiver?
Would you please soothe my endeavor?
I’m bit tired,
Nothing of my life expired,
Still why do I feel like expiring soul?
Whenever there is a hope,
Few spaces to start or a little scope,
I feel like I’ve retired.
No one is touching my soul,
Nothing is happening at all
Cause I don’t dare to do.
I really need some pace,
For settling down in this place
I look for a friend but don’t know who.
I love the evening sky,
The scene when the birds fly to their nests,
I’m not so sure, where to go,
I wait to fly;
Just as the sun would lie
In the sea-bed after the tiring day.
Then only I’d feel
Why am I not standing on the hill?
Neither on my heel high,
Finally it pains,
My tender heart cries,
Who’s there to console my tries?
…SO INDECISIVE…
He is at the back of the row
His mind at the front row
It is his choice and decision to give
Yet, he made it his choice to leave
He got it all wealth
He said it’s his sweat
With his wallet tied to his belt
Won’t give, that’s what he meant
The indecisive Millionaire.
She said she’s beautiful
Don’t in anyway mind flaunting it sinful
Hers is a body for a feast
But she gave it all to a beast
Not Cinderella but she got many glass shoes
A prince charming is hers to choose
She got it intact so placed
Am I or am I not to give in
The indecisive damsel
This is knowledge at its peak
It’s in his blood from back ages
This is his destiny to squarely face
To pass the knowledge he got round
As it was prophetically so bound
It’s in my head he rudely said
Not a blessing, as all think to vain
I will teach my descendants he thought
No; it’s for me alone he so hard fought
The indecisive genius.
Dedicated to all who lacks sense of charity.
…Lordvip…
Where am I today
Confusion lies
Somewhere in between
The Earth and skies
Harmony reigns above
Chaos down below
Astral projection’s view
Lets me see the show
Dare I attempt to rise
Higher through clouds
Or should I rejoin
The numb-stricken crowds
Who endured the pain
Unable to take more
Then donned their masks
Oblivious to gore
I cannot decide
Just hover in a void
Both hurt and bliss ignore
And closure I avoid
I want to decision
Please help me but don't help me
But decisions that I've made
The durations of the problems have cascade
Multiple times I've been misled
Been unfair but yet I stand
But instead I'm alone and that's, okay
I've subsided I'm recluse often times I don't know just what to do the things are wrong seems so right it's all natural for God made it such all things are pleasantries who am I the judge I am one of these I loved it loved alone yet okay who am I to say what keeps me at bay
Indecisive
Trauma song sings out loud alone is just alone
I gravitate not to the things I hate my desires is a fire
A flame that I must consume the impending thoughts
That I think that I brought I nourish humor am I to judge
I'm in my own love
I need no one else that I need of someone and to someone needs me they call me love
Who am I to tarry here when I caress not no fear for a man I have no need of that to rescuer the cover the co-protector spirits turn seems to believe that he is the hero I often thought as I think no one else to blame who is The rescuer who is the one God has loaned I am bankrupt I'm doing well on my own
In decisive?

I tried to give love a chance
was dealt some cards
thought I'd play my hand
tried to give my love to you
hoping you wouldn't hurt me like everyone else do
I felt us getting close enjoying our time together
when we were apart I wondered did u love another
your ex love, u say u have no feelings for
this is what I start to believe more and more
These feelings were too deep I was getting lost
didn't wanna take a chance at love
didn't wanna pay the cost
yes I love you, more than you know
that deep pain I felt last nite
I gotta let go
I no we could've been good together, I will miss you
it's just the hurt and pain I dont wanna go thru
for you I fell so fast
thought I found "the one"
thought we were gonna last
could've been so fun
I wont be lied to, cheated on or abused
This is what I wont deal with I refuse
I may be difficult to deal with
May be hard to understand
I need a healer, a lover ,one that dont want another
one-woman-kind-a-man
i look at you tonight
even after we fight
i cannot be mad at you
for my love for you is so true
i think i will get up and make you coffee
perhaps scoop up that ice cream you love with the toffee
maybe i will just steal me a 'forgive me' kiss
no matter if it is all hit or miss
i will be the silliest clown just to see you smile
it is what drew me to you all the while
you got me whipped and you know it's true
i am just another guy who oftentimes have not a clue
i laugh softly to myself because we have been through worse
you startle me back to reality as you laugh right with me and say 'i'm sorry' first
Indecisive
I’ll get around to it
It will be done eventually
Soon it will happen
It is a mystery I want to solve
I promise I’m working on it
It needs to get done
I hope I can do it
It might take awhile
There are things that are distracting me
I might need some advice on this
This is an unavoidable situation
It requires a certain amount of focus
Tomorrow sounds good
I’ll keep it in mind
I’ll do it when I feel like it
I’m really good at making excuses
This needs a certain dedication
This is quite a task
It might be more than I can handle
I’m not sure if I can do this
Do I have what it takes?
I’m starting to doubt myself
The outcome is improbable
This is starting to stress me out
Should I make time for this?
How important is it?
Maybe I’m just the victim in all this
It could be somebody else’s problem
Let’s go with that and call it a day
Lock the doors, hide away
We're going to the place that takes your breath away
So you seem to be unsure
Never promised life would let you fly
You make me want to
How I want to
Close the windows let no one hear
Put out that cigarette, we'll plan this night right
So now you feel guilty
Couldn't tell you how much this means to me
You make me want to
How I want to
Is this how life should feel
Now that you've changed everything
The battle rages on
So piece this mystery together
We're gonna wake up feeling like we felt before
You'll feel better rested
Never told you the truth living lies
You make me want to
Oh how I want to
Indecisive Running Away Man I Am!
Always running away to and from
anything and everything
anyone and everyone in which I
indecisively not knowing what to do or even where ever to go in order
to find solace and acceptance by others and especially myself
adapting to but still struggling with having only solace in solitude for now
never actually solving my problems
instead keeping my mind occupied on other things
running away and restarting my life every two to three years is my only solution
in hopes of finding finding sustainability and balance in everything and especially myself
It's a vicious endless circular cycle
working a decent paying job
then getting fed up with it
quitting and running away again
my life has been and still is a never-ending running away from everything and anything
that I disagree with or get fed up with every since I joined and left the United States of America's Navy!
Restless and desolate
Her thoughts overwhelm her emotions
She can only feel aching in her chest.
Anxiety and fear take over
All the chaos swarming over her
Insecure of her own wants
She has a choice to make.
Left or right?
one is secure
The other more precarious
Contemplating
Silence overcomes her
Lacking all and any rationality
She shuts herself down
No serenity, no conclusion
She collapses into her reality
Closes her eyes
And cries.
Just how much courage does it take?
To stick to the plan that I’d made
And why should I be afraid?
To live my own destined fate
When all I could do is hate
All the things that I have said
Can’t I just stay in the bed?
With no sorrows and no regret
But the image of it in my head
Keeps on replaying until the end
I remember writing some lines about how much you've changed
How much you have grown through the years
How much I want to wait for you to come back
When you were here, we would make all these plans
"You could do this, and I'll do that, then we'd..."
I'd hate to relive these days
torn between what's good and right
silence at times is quite unbearable
time's a bomb that's unpredictable
casting its fair share of earnest fright
i stumble in the night asking what is real
my heart's no help i don't know how i feel
"I want to be with you. It's as simple and as complicated as that" - Charles Bukowski
