"Shadow and Light"

Heavy thoughts collide

Forming cross roads in my mind

Emotions well up...

Tears build...

My heart is like pendulum swaying between what is right and what is easy...

I struggle to choke down the lump growing within my throat

Desperation pushes upon my core

My feet scream for action

They wish to place once foot in front of the other and run

I'm torn

Head spins

Stomach turns

I hate these moments that seem to last forever

All upon a single second...

But I stay where my feet are planted

Forcing myself through

Struggling...

Fighting...

Holding my breath until the next

My eyes silently scream at the reflection in the mirror

Because when there are shades of gray seeping through your life

It becomes difficult to tell the truth between what is shadow

And what is light.
