Choices

My divided mind wages war
One says stay, the other cries go
Back and forth, pulling each way
Totally confused, silently waste away.

My uncertain heart bids"Wait! No run!"
To do either would be no fun
Like pendulum oscillating side to side
What takes precedence, need or pride?

Each moment's a choice- one two or three
To choose as I wish I am free
Standing by choice not an easy task
Stay in orbit or go to lonely Mars.
