Torn Between Two Worlds
There are two worlds I live in:
Reason and Resonation
Reason is where I discuss matters with logic
Resonation is where I simply go with my thought or others’ thought.
Reason is the 21st century common sense
That’s tense and flexible
Tense is when it should “make sense” to everyone
Flexible is when it can be manipulated to form syllogism or create logical reflexes
Resonation is simply blending
That’s rigid yet variable
Rigid in that it must be able to impress
Variable in that it should be easily professed
The two worlds I live in will never mix genuinely
Like oil and water
Because they strive to be distinct
And coil back to their corresponding worlds
A conflict lies between the two worlds
Called a bruise in a relationship
I was chosen to be a screen for mediation
And a participant in the cruise of emotions
I was asked to help repair a bruise
Occurring in two worlds
One wanting to give a logical understanding for her pairs of misdeeds
One wanting to cling only to the twirly expectations she holds
I asked for a cling to the hardships of one another
And a logical understanding of commitment one needs
But no effort was exerted to protect the wound from ringing
Since both pairs of eyes were clogged with confusion and hesitance
As the relationship falls,
The tear between two sides
Developed into a tall lesson
That will forever ride with both sides
And I, will be in both worlds because they can potentially mix.
