When in doubt, go left.

A drifting mind
Between right and wrong
Line's are blurry,
Rules unseen.

A decision approaches
pressing to be answered
nudging you either way,
a constant tug-a-war.

Teetering on the edge
Of eternal opposites,
Both as good
As they are bad.

All that can be done
Is to close your eyes
Start to fall,
and let fate take you away.


Spoiler! :
Ambivalence.

I love the meaning of your poem. It somehow reminds me of a poem The Road Not Taken. Nothing's the same but it conveys the message of choices and decisions in life.

This is my favorite.

Hello there,
When I saw the name of your poem I was thinking about a completely different type of poem but you surprised me with this !

I believe that your poem has many good features such as ...
- Descriptions
- Layout


For a short poem its actually very very good!
To be able to pull off such a short poem is a rare skill so well done ;3

Hiya Im Sian xox
Um I Think Your Lyrical Poem Was Very Very Descriptive And Intresting Something About It Made Me Want To Finish Reading And Also I Think The Title "When In Doubt Go Left" Drawed Me In .
Keep Up The Good Work xox



All my life I've wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific.
