Torn...

Torn...

Between feelings and reason,

causing conflicts, in my perception,

disoriented, I am losing directions, 

strayed from path, having hesitations. 

So I seek, to follow the lead,

clear this fog, blinding me,

taking cue, creating my own,

with a clarity, to navigate life. 

Torn...

Between restraint & impulses,

dedicated to follow my principles,

yet, desires flow, emotions grow,

making me falter, lose composure. 

There are thought, that may arise,

along with urges, hidden from sight,

considering options, accepting temptations, 

while holding, to guilty conscience. 

Torn...

I am confused,

entertaining notions, that may include,

ideas & beliefs, I should have refused,

yet, fell victim to circumstances. 

And I wonder, am I wrong,

when the world moves along,

with an increasingly diverse societies, 

providing us many options. 

Torn...

Am I scared, or just concerned, 

letting go of my obligations, 

chasing the idea of freedom,

might break my mental rhythm.... 

And I am stuck!

Don't waste your time

Don't waste your time,

and wait for some signs,

of divine interventions, 

to make things right. 

Spending hours on screen,

sitting on bench ruminating, 

or lounging on the couch, 

playing games or snacking. 

Resting keeps heart light, 

only if, you earned the right,

by investing in certain tasks,

performing duties, giving a fight. 

Yet, we prefer conveniences, 

enjoy pleasures of indulgences, 

getting addicted to the voices, 

controlling desires & impulses. 

There might be setbacks,

breaking our will to persist,

frustrated & disillusioned, 

we lose the drive, to continue. 

Still, it shouldn't be the excuse,

for you to abandon your journey, 

cultivate patience & discipline, 

act with a purpose and devotion. 

Just don't waste your time.
