Fence-sitting
Looks like a beautiful thing
Some are better at it than others
That state of indecision
Or neutrality with respect to
Conflicting positions
Indecision
The inability to make a decision Quickly
That doesn’t describe me
I can make a snap decision
And live with the consequences
Neutrality
The state of not supporting
Or helping either side
That’s not really me either
I tend to choose sides
Based on my beliefs
Upbringing or
Strong feelings
Fence-sitting
Looks like a beautiful thing
But eventually the law of gravity
Will prevail
The fence will lean
I’m not a very good fence-sitter
I’d rather choose
My direction of flight
Instead of allowing
Outside forces to dictate
Which way I go
