A decision lies before me, I’ve pondered it for days,

I’ve considered all the angles, thought of all the ways.

My life would change for the better, or suffer a collapse,

Am I being selfish, and longing for the past?

Decisions shouldn’t be hasty, but pondered by the hour,

They’re filled with apprehension, but offer up the power.

To provide one’s life with challenge, opportunity, and praise,

And if I’m really lucky, I might even get a raise.

OK it’s done, I’ve made a choice, I’ve boiled it down to one

Now its time to consider just what the hell I’ve done.

To alter my life’s destiny, or merely change the way,

To earn an honest living, and fill my working day.
