Decisions
I sit at the window
And stare sightlessly outside
Decisions weigh heavy on my mind
Which path do I take?
The one my heart points me towards?
Or the one my conscience points me to?
And who's to say which is the right one?
If it were only myself involved
The choice would be so much easier
But other lives will be touched by this
People I love, and who love me
There are no easy answers
Perhaps there are no answers at all
And the decision must be mine alone
No one can make it for me
So I sit here
The weight of the world on my shoulders
My mind spinning with thoughts
And no solution in sight
