My fate is in your hands, tied to a string, swinging over a piece of notebook paper that has been divided into two roughly equal halves by a red vis-a-vis pen, the left side labeled YES and the right side labeled NO. I am hoping you will drop it on top of the former, but you apparently haven't decided yet and the suspense is KILLING ME!
I don't like to be dragged along forever like an inanimate, unfeeling object. You have to remember that my fate is partially in your hands. What good are desires if we can never have them because there are tyrants guarding over them? Tyrants tend to be irrational and greedy, hoarding the things we want when they could freely give them to us with little effort or loss. Tyrants make you get down on your knees and beg. So you do! And then there are still no guarentees!
Dealing with you is a gamble. The stakes are pretty high this time, and I'm playing against house favoratism! What do you want from me, collateral? The promise of unwavering stewardship? Would you throw me a bone if I vowed to sacrifice my firstborn?
I'm not a perfect man, but I'm trying damn it! I know I don't deserve things to be perfect, but do they have to be bleak? Can't you at least give me the YES for now? I'm begging you! It's a small favor for something that would mean so much to me! I'll pay you back! Whatever you ask! I've got to make a decision soon, and I need to know if I'm gonna have your support in staying here!
And so you've got to let me know...
Should I stay or should I go?
...
Should I stay or should I go NOW?!!
(listen to "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash - simply b/c it rocks)
