Poetry / Choice
I thought it was done,
I believed it was over,
But how naïve I was
To think this could be over.
I thought peace had been made
and I wouldn’t be tugged two ways again,
I wouldn’t have to decide
between two friends again.
How silly I was to think that,
To believe I could just be happy for once,
Not to have my life complicated,
To not be in pain or tears for once.
This war never ended,
It’s still going on,
And I thought it could end,
But it turns out I didn’t have any idea what was going on.
Cause if I’d known,
I would have known better,
Because this will happen all over again,
And it will never get better.
We find the flaws in people
And hammer them open
Until they break
Or a new person is opened.
So now I have a choice,
And one I’ve been forced to make
Too many times.
It’s a terrible choice to make.
I can never decide.
Do I stay in the middle?
Battered and pulled by the opposing sides?
Or do I leave my safe middle?
They’re clamoring for my lot,
And I feel pressured to decide
Like I could ever
decide.
It’s not as simple as they think.
It’s black and white for them,
but gray for me.
I’m not like them.
I suppose you could call it weak.
I never could choose between my friends,
Who ever thought I would have to?
They’re my friends.
I wanted to walk in the light,
But I find myself back in the shade,
I know that I can never actually
Rest in the shade.
It’s like tug-of-war,
and I’m the rope.
I sense their need to capture me,
their prize, the rope.
I’m not sure what’s right anymore,
I’m confused about wrong.
I can’t decide,
Who is the in the wrong?
