Two Paths

I want to do both at the same time.
Yet I end up doing hardly any of each.
Why?

Why?
I do not admit: too much to do both
But I try.
Why?

Why?
One path would be defeat,
and too stubborn, I am.
Why?

Why?
Retreat is failure.
That is not acceptable.
Why?

Why?
Life's path is flexible.
Change is built into it.
Why?

Why?
I want one path to follow;
one that is unchanging.
Why?

Why?
One path to follow
is a folly of life.
Why?

Why?
It has been already answered.
Am I ready accept it?
