Fear and hunger

It's hard to choose a path when being held back by fear or pressed forward by hunger

Fear and hunger

Sometimes I find life too quiet.
Other times I am overwhelmed
by the multitude of choices
that urgently needs to be made.
But it’s not always the amount
of choices that troubles my heart,
a simple but significant
problem that demands to be solved
can leave me completely worn out.
When my heart and mind disagrees
it’s unpleasant to say the least ,
but I find it unbearable
when my heart violently pulls me
into opposite directions.

Hunger always pushing forward
and fear always holding me back.
Hunger can make you impulsive;
fear will make you a lonely man.
Loneliness strangles one slowly;
makes you suffocate in the dark.
Never taking any chances
is the biggest risk of them all.
Desperation caused by hunger
will surely impair your judgment.
Do not act because of hunger
and don’t delay because of fear.
Both of these will cause you great pain.
Avoiding mistakes is so hard…
