"Eleven Syllable Struggle", an evening oddity

Making a hard decision, isn’t easy.
Overstating a simplistic statement, is.
Hard decisions, once made, are liberating,
Finding the struggle was always the problem.

The decision, having been made, is now past,
Thoughts can now be directed to the future;
More productive uses made of energies.
Internal struggles are seldom productive.

By turning mind’s inner eye toward the light,
Away from the darkness of circular thought,
New hope springs forth, blossoming with potential,
Stepping forth with a new feeling of purpose.
