Conflicted

Trying to ignore what is in my head

Stuffing it away so I can go to bed

But no, it comes back up

Tormenting, torturing

And brings all the pain right/back up

 

My head says one thing

My heart quite another

The latter says fight

Give up, says the former

 

A choice between war and peace

War means to fight for beliefs and peace of mind

But the mind says please!

The work is hard but being lazy is easy!

 

What to do

What to do

Of course, going to bed would do

For right now

Leave the hard decision between real and temporary peace

For a later time

As always, leaving the problems for tomorrow

Hoping they never come

 

You can close your eyes

But you can’t close your mind

Learning to, is the real journey

And the real challenge of life

Hoping for answers to find

Not solutions, but the right choices

To do or not to do

To be or not to be

Questions, questions

Those are the questions

There will be no solutions

Only choices to make

 

I just want to take flight

Fast forward to a different time

Coz right now, the choice is between lemon and lime

Both too bitter

But seem to be better

For the future

But avoidance is not the answer

 

After all, courage takes strength

And a will of steel

A little bitter at first

But better in the end
