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!
