Indecision

     This is my prose poem. As you can see, it is in the form a singular paragraph. In it I personify the emotion of indecision. I later modified it and made it into a visual poem which you can see at your viewing pleasure here. Enjoy!

     Indecision teeters and totters upon an intimidating cliff. Straddling the thin line between yes and no, Indecision wears grey, never black or white. His mind runs rampant, processing numbers and outcomes yet always failing to choose. He coasts through life, wasting precious time, always wondering “What if?” instead of “Why not?” When asked a simple question, he shuffles his grey shoes, eyes downcast, mumbling a wishy-washy, “I dunno.” He is the caution sign in your life, the anchor weighing you down from taking that fateful leap. Back and forth, he sways like a limber palm bending in the breezes of influence. Make the decision, and never allow him the liberty to consume you.
