Do bad decisions feel better if you think it over
Take a while before committing to them
Cover all bases and see no options
Can a bad decision become a good decision
If done with the best of intentions
If dressed up and presented like royalty
If muled over and hypothesized to death?
Do decisions influenced by misleading information
Get a Hail Mary?
Surely a Mea Culpa!
It feels like some bad decisions
Are the gift that keep on giving
They do not assign blame
Nor do they assuage guilt
They assign a scorched earth approach
That stretches their repercussions into the recesses of your being
When these bad decisions affect the children we raise
Shape the adults they become
Mold the partners we chose
Paint the traumas we perpetuate
How do you reach a bunkered soul
Unspook a spooked existence
Reach that soul that keeps clawing at yours
But too afraid to latch on
Does reaching out to that soul
Count as a bad decision?
