Split is my heart

one side wants purpose

the other wants love

why can I not have both?

I implore the fates

with tear-stained cheeks of sadness

I offer them my scars as an offering

and accept that with this wish comes sacrifice

and I ask again

why can I not have both?

and with gentle understanding they peer

into my face all shattered

and tell me that I can

have all it is I seek

but that to do so is to work harder

than I have ever done

do I accept this burden

do I accept this fate

do I accept that I must shoulder it all

upon a back

that will bleed

that will bruise

that will ache unceasing?

Yes.

nice

That was good. I can relate.

Thank you
