Bail or Sail

I am two beers in and not a sip closer to knowing what to do

I am at a crossroads

on principal, I should walk

but I love, all that I would be walking away from

I have a goal that would be mitigated, should I walk

I have vested interests that will lose their value, should I sell now

I have a will that will falter, should I give up

I am a voice not heard,

a winning ticket tossed aside

the obvious choice

left behind

what I will be faced with will be difficult, unpleasant, and tiring

exhausting, frustrating and unfair

should I bail, 

or should I sail,

with nothing but a broken mast, and a really strong paddle???
