Indecision: A moment of mental mayhem

A free-style acrostic about a trip inside my brain at a strange time

Disordered, I say my thoughts are.

I see the options before me

Stood precariously like boulders on a ledge.

Trusting myself and my decisions,

Releasing my thoughts into being,

Am I sure that's wise?

Control, confidence, I possess these things.

That's what I am supposed to say.

In me is the potential to be great!

Or shall I greet the disaster looming?

No, I think I will have that side of bacon with my eggs and toast, thank you.
