Commitment

The world can be a frightful beast
With gnarled fangs and cuspate claws
That author pause, creating cause for
Hesitation to commit.

Decision this, selection that,
The oddest twist of tit for tat,
The sinking feeling of concern for
Premonitions of regret.

Fear invokes the perfect storm of
Doubt and indecisiveness,
Trails lined with divisiveness
Of baleful bane and benefit.

Cannot opt for second best
When mettle quickens to the test.
Make a choice, reject the rest
With no prerequisite.

There’s no need to please the masses.
Seize the moment ere it passes.
This may be the perfect fit
If fate is kind and you commit.
