Which decisions are smart, I ask, what choices expedient?

Which will get me to my destination faster?

Which will I eventually resent?

I have long chosen happiness and that I long to have Success, peace and ..., that decision was the easiest The difficulty lies in the route, the road which leads thereto Life is like a gamble, decisions like a test.

There are huge risks involved; The future has the tenacity of an egg “Deal or no deal” is the predicament, the question Should I take the easy way out, should I cowardly be?

Will I always look back, regret, and alter my perception?

I am indeed at that point in my life Where decisions need deciding I am an indecisive person How much longer can I remain in hiding?
