Decision
The moment before leaving the shadows is uncertain, vague. I crack, a delicate, empty vase, with the pressure of the decision: Who am I? Where to go? I step back. I can't, yet.

Decision is always there. Sometimes we have to act even when we're uncertain. Like the direction you took with the prompt.

It can be scary to leave the comfort of the shadows. I like it.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the anxiety of indecision perfectly. I love the line "I crack, a delicate, empty vase, with the pressure of the decision." Urgh--wish I could say I'd never been there. Still bearing the scars of some of those cracks…
