Reconsider


Things don't always go according to plan

For hesitancy is rooted in doubt

You thought you made a final decision

Until you faltered to carry it out



That something inside, failed to subside

A lingering feeling you thought you could hide

A consistent drip from an old faucet sink

It constantly taps & you try not to think



But there it still dwells and there it remains

Chipping at the subconscious like a wood-pecker on a pane

You try not to notice

You think its alright

Until you can't decide if your decision is right



You like the control- a consquence of the pride

Ego is live and kicking- often steering you to thrive

You thought you had it resolved; you knew that you knew

Until the time to say it; until the time to do



You prepared so long- and it all seemed so right

But the thoughts became separated, from your heart's true plight

Stopping you in the moment, in the middle of your pace

Once going for the gold, you're now indifferent to the race

A paralyzing feeling ; one of instant distaste

You are now slow to respond, disregarding all haste



The spirit takes your helms; the mind is put aside

Pride no longer leads you

Mental is ready to abide

A contemplative heart is not something one can hide



No longer is there doubt; no longer is there fear

Intuition's grip leaves you no choice- but to adhere

You wonder if it's right? But, you do not wonder long

For internal tides turn & the tap has been there too long

No longer is it a choice; its a force beyond control

You finally throw your hands to heaven- you decide to let it go



There's always an ambivalent mind before one can commit

And those who become fulfilled-

Were enlightened to submit.
