Uncertainty

Uncertainty looms like a predator
consuming my thoughts, actions, and desires
i just want to know what to do
i want to return to times of simplicity

to times when everything was mapped out for me
so simple
eat, breathe, sleep
then wake up and do the same thing all over again

to live in a routine
is what makes me feel secure
to know what to expect
and to succeed by simply surviving

i've trained myself on how to get by
and how to smile even when i just want to burst into tears
to make decisions
is a silent hell i go through day by day

is it just me or is fate a practical joker
because right now
i can't laugh, i'm so scared
scared of the uncertainty that's looming like a bad taste in my mouth

i can't rid myself of it
yet do i want to
i'm so happy with the simplest things now
and once again my days are filled with loving anticipation

but uncertainty remains
what am i meant to do
i know what my calling is
but i'm afraid to jump in right now

to leave all that i've known behind
for an unknown, unfamiliar destination
when did i become such a coward
afraid of my own wings

i'm afraid to fly away from all the good things in my life
fate has taken its time in granting me happiness
now i want to savor it
to hold on, with all the courage and strength i can afford

uncertain is what i will do about us
are we meant to be
do you care for me as much as your bold actions illustrate
or will i take this step only to be disappointed

uncertainty is my biggest problem right now
i'm uncertain about which road to pursue
but then i try to remind myself
that everything that happens is meant to be
