Torn


I am so torn

My body

Being pulled in two directions

By my mind

And heart

Which do I choose?

My choice doesn’t matter

Both sides will keep pulling anyway

Equal in their force

Smothering in their intensity

How can I escape?

Just a girl with a lot of thoughts in her head. I come here to vent occasionally, since I don't have a lot of other places to do so. I'd love to chat with you, so go ahead and message me!
