We are told:
Approach-approach conflict is the psychological conflict that results when a choice must be made between two desirable alternatives.
I've tried some poetry this week. It just spurted out. No conflict there, then. But I hope it captures the prompt.
Perfectly Me
Should I stay or should I go?
I don't know.
Staying is yellow and moonlit and beautifully strange.
Going is rusty adventures in daylight orange.
Staying is knowing, turning well-worn pages.
Going is jumping, leaping across new stages.
Staying is finding more.
Going is finding out.
Staying is being sure.
Going is wondering about.
Is it all or nothing or neither or both?
Is my decision final, or mirrors and smoke?
When I am happy as I am right now,
How can I walk away?
Yet over the fence is another rainbow
And more freedom to play.
Two halves of two wholes
That fit together perfectly.
All I must decide, or not,
Is which half is perfectly me.
I love it! :) My favorite stanza is "Is it all or nothing or neither or both? / Is my decision final, or mirrors and smoke?" -something about the cadence there was quite striking!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your participation in the prompts! I hope it's sending a few friends your way. :D
Thank you! I'm really enjoying the prompts, something different to get your head around :-)
DeleteLove the first four stanzas; not so sure abut the last two.
ReplyDeleteI really liked 'going is finding out'. Hope to do that...
ReplyDeleteCuriosity takes us to magical places. I hope you get there, happily.
DeleteI just found one of your blogs, loved the post about being make-up free! (Or not) !
