Courage And Kettle Chips
I am scared to make a decision
Stuck frozen in my fear
But I have to make a decision
Because I need to get away from Here
Things will not change unless I choose
But I want to know if there is something better
Money is not the only thing I will lose
So I am waiting, waiting for an answer
Doing the best I can with what I feel
I am still anxious and unassured
I do not know to What I can appeal
To have my Limbo finally conquered
I crunch on my kettle chips, conjuring up courage
Stuck frozen in my fear
But I have to make a decision
Because I need to get away from Here
Things will not change unless I choose
But I want to know if there is something better
Money is not the only thing I will lose
So I am waiting, waiting for an answer
Doing the best I can with what I feel
I am still anxious and unassured
I do not know to What I can appeal
To have my Limbo finally conquered
I crunch on my kettle chips, conjuring up courage

aw, thank you. I thought I was the only one that like Kettle Chips. They're just so crunchy and I had to put it in a poem but not make it so cheesy, because who writes about chips? I didn't want to come off as creepy weirdo writing about his enjoyment of kettle chips. thank you.

I think we've all crunched on some food trying to conjure courage. Question: why is 'what' capitalized in s.3 l.3? And this might be your style, but I think you should have a period at the end of 'courage' or an ellipse, just some ending punctuation for your poem, no punctuation at the end, to me at least, seems to leave your words floating, a period or ellipse grounds them and also having ending punctuation is like a final gesture to make your point. Idk, just my preference. Your choice, really cool piece here, well done,

gee thanks. I never knew that. I'm lazy when it come to punctuation. I write totally from feeling. Thanks for the insightful and helpful comment. I really never thought of it, I just write and write and write and don't really see those details. cheers!
