Seatbelt

Should I take it slow
and take time to know
which road to take;
Be precise

Should I run full speed
let go of the wheel
Forget regrets;
Be concise

Should I count the pitfalls?
Should I throw the maps?
Should I trust my gut?
Should I look back twice?

Do I stop if they stop?
Do I wait if they wait?
Do I go if they go?
Which one can suffice--
My longing to find
Where my path leads;
Do I choose the journey
or the price?

Whichever I choose
I'd risk a crash
If I wear a seatbelt
Is it cowardice or wise?
