Spilled Ink

Time to step back and figure out

where I am going,

I can no longer ignore

this toing and froing.

Decisions must be made

whether to change course

while I still have a choice

and before I am forced.

Do I stick with what I know

or be brave and go against the flow.

That would mean upsetting

everyone’s expectations

with the consequences

of souring relations.

Maybe I should just think of me,

I’ve served enough time

and now I deserve to be free.

To hell with what

everybody else thinks,

I will tell my story,

just hope I have enough ink.
