Indecision

It's time to take a chance
Make a decision and go with it,
There's no point, none at all in
Lingering and lingering,
Growing ever insane
As indecision eats you up.
My mother always said that gut instincts were right,
Listen to your heart, she often said.
Sadly, I never listened to her
I always over thought things,
Always oversaw things.
Read it once, twice, fourteen times
Before I was convinced it was true.
I lacked trust, I lacked faith,
And I never believed in fate
And for hours I would wait.
I just didn't have her confidence.
But then, I thought
After weeks of nail biting,
Head whirling, tummy turning,
- 'What am I doing?'
And only then did I realise
That I'd done nothing at all.
That all this time
I had sat around,
And almost missed
That final chance
To forget all else
To simply TAKE a chance.
