The Dilemma!
What do I do now?
They have given me a choice,
But is it a choice at all,
Do I speak out and use my voice?
They tell me this and tell me that,
Thoughts swimming in my head,
Risks here, risks there,
I need to do it they all said.
But what do I do, can you tell me?
Can anyone ever know…?
How I feel, the fears I have,
And down which road that I go!
I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to think,
For just like that my life…
Was almost over in a blink!
So they gave me a choice to make,
But there is no choice given to me,
For after all's said and done,
They are trying to make me see…
See the dangers ahead of me,
As I sail through my life,
And the risks they told me are small,
Compared to the loss of my life!
So here I am sitting thinking,
About what to do with my choice,
I'm afraid of both, and don't know what to do,
What's the use of using my voice!
Its ok for them, it's not their life,
They don't know what's inside my head!
Thoughts churning, causing me fear,
I wake up to the mornings in dread!
The thoughts are on my mind all the time,
And I don't know what to do,
I don't know how to deal with it all,
I just don't have a clue…
What do I do, can anyone know?
How I'm feeling inside,
When all I do is cry a little more,
And I want to run and hide.
Can't run, can't hide,
For the thoughts won't go away,
I need to make this choice,
I need someone to say…
Yes, you know the answer,
It's already in your head…
You have no choice, so what's the use,
Of living in fear and dread!
Why do I have this choice to make?
What the hell am I going to do?
What do I decide…tell me,
For I don't have a clue…!
