So many chances left of rthe abyss
Indecision haunts my dreams
And infects all my thoughts

Never could I get the courage
To take the oh so necessary risks
Always I was thinking
Rarely was I trying

Events loop themselves over and over
My mistakes so clear
A couple of finely placed words
And I might actually have a life

The headache grows to the point
Where I'd prefer heartache
As a wise man once said
It is better loved and lost than to never have loved at all

I retreat to my hole
Afraid to face the world
Fearing rejection and endless taunting
If I say what my heart feels

A worthless heap unworthy of pitty
That's me alright
Even if I'm intelligent and have other great skills
They matter not when your indecisive

The pressure mounts
Opportunites abound
Soon I will escape
From the dreary state [comments] => 0 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Cagedsoul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

A Wasted Life

Topic: Lifepoems

Why couldn't I make up my mind
So many chances left of rthe abyss
Indecision haunts my dreams
And infects all my thoughts

Never could I get the courage
To take the oh so necessary risks
Always I was thinking
Rarely was I trying

Events loop themselves over and over
My mistakes so clear
A couple of finely placed words
And I might actually have a life

The headache grows to the point
Where I'd prefer heartache
As a wise man once said
It is better loved and lost than to never have loved at all

I retreat to my hole
Afraid to face the world
Fearing rejection and endless taunting
If I say what my heart feels

A worthless heap unworthy of pitty
That's me alright
Even if I'm intelligent and have other great skills
They matter not when your indecisive

The pressure mounts
Opportunites abound
Soon I will escape
From the dreary state
