I pace back and forth as I think,

a pantoum poem

I pace back and forth as I think,

and I think that

whatever decision I make,

something is out there twisting my fate.

And I think that

my thinking just gets in the way of

something out there twisting my fate

as I wonder and wander under the weight.

My thinking just gets in the way of

whatever decision I make.

As I wonder and wander under the weight,

I pace back and forth as I think.

    I think the theme of this poem fits perfectly with the pantoum form and its repetition. Great work.
