FACING A CHALLENGE

When faced with a challenge

We swiftly want to flee

From making a decision

To move or cop a plea.

Is it better to go with it or wait

As life quickly passes by

Or better to hesitate

Bewailing our fate, not try?

Deciding to move ahead or not

Making a list of cons and pros

Helps make it easier to discern

Keeping us on our toes.

So, if we go or if we stay

Is not really wrong or right

It is simply a matter of choice

Of fight or flight in hindsight.
