‘Mpho… come out and enjoy the shine <br />It is a beautiful day out here; ’ said Dee <br />I stood up and started towards the door, <br />For a moment I felt the thrill and the excitement <br />Of going out into that night rained, sunshine filled world <br />With the birds punching all sorts of beautiful melodies into their songs <br />But then I hesitated; something made me hold up. <br />And that moment passed. <br />What was it, fear? <br />Was it the fear of that unknown world out there? <br />Was it uncertainty? <br />Uncertain of what that world held for me? <br />I have seen its ugliness as I sat here at the small window of my soul. <br />Or was it laziness? <br />I have stayed inside for so long and maybe I do not want to lose my comfort zone <br />What shall I do? <br />What should I do?<br /><br />Mpho Petrus Manwedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-should-i-do-2/
