Zywa One or the other
(taking leave from what you are not going to do)

What shall I do?
For now, nothing
I decide
to postpone my decision

I know the pros and cons
but I do not yet have the courage
to take leave
from what I am not going to do

My thoughts about how it might
turn out are a problem
How can I trust

that it will go well
that I will be fine
if it goes differently

than expected and it depends
on how I view it at the time
whether I will be open to it?
