• It is so simple
    A simple yes or no.

    It will end the whole thing
    But it could go either way.

    The choice is mine
    And mine alone.

    No one can make it for me
    They can try to help me.

    They can give advice
    They can try to sway me.

    But it only makes it harder
    I just need them to be there.

    The pressure builds
    The air is thick around me.

    The end is near
    The time to choose is close.

    But I am even farther from making my decision
    Thoughts whirl around in my head.

    My family wants one
    My friends want the other.

    They think they know best
    But it doesn't help.

    Some say to follow my heart
    But I can't hear it over the talking.

    Confused and annoyed I am quiet
    People ask what's wrong.

    They only interrupt my train of thought
    And I remain silent.

    And then like the sun rising over the world,
    I know my path.

    Filled with emotion I go to the place
    The place, the time, my home where the choice is to be made.

    Everyone is already there
    Waiting for me.

    I am nervous but it is time
    So my voice rings out.

    In the morning air my statement hangs
    As if frozen in time.

    And the one word passes through my lips.

    Forever to change my life.
