Decisions

Timing sucks.
But at least that means
that timing's stuck.
But if timing's struck
& also sucks,
then what does timing mean?

Is it time
to take action,
or take two steps back.
Because if we're back,
then we can act
with no adverse reaction.

But maybe adverse
is only a way of living,
because without negatives
you don't shell the skin
of opportunities life is giving.

So maybe timing sucks,
& it only causes pain.
But if the pain don't come,
then you remain numb,
& I'd rather not explain

why I stood and watched
while life went on
& left me in the dark.
This decision is a little sharp,
but it's advice I've to send on.
