This or That?

Woman, Question Mark, Person, Decision, Thoughtful

When choices confront me

and it is decision time,

paranoia sets in.

I rummage through the anxious moments,

begin a futile exercise of

coping with a barrage of insecurities,

indecisiveness,

hesitation,

confusion,

procrastination….

What if I make a wrong choice?

A conundrum which has no answer,

the debate between the voices of

the heart and the mind

leaves little scope

to navigate through the labyrinth of thoughts.

Pondering,

contemplating,

deliberating,

the pros and cons.

Finally, I decide

come back to it tomorrow.

Sadly,

decision making has never been my forte!

  15. Yes, the choice of neither. Unfortunately I do this often, too. Love this part:

      1. Exactly; I feel this same way often. Perhaps part of it is wanting to make the right choice, if such a thing is possible. But maybe, on the other hand, there is no wrong choice if you’re following your heart and mind. Both have equal merit. But that again brings us back to “This or That?”. It’s a never-ending cycle. But I hope you can find the clarity to make the choices that will neither trouble your heart or mind.
