Each beckons
seductive
commanding
demure
imperious
humble
terrifying.
A choice must be
made, they demand.
One is especially
emphatic that
she be the only option
- the one I am least
interested in,
the only one that
does not serve or
promote
my dreams,
needs.
I turn my back
despite the clamorous
protests
stride into
open space
unconfined
true to self.
