Torn
I feel so torn and all alone
I don't know what to do
torn between knowing what's right
and doing what's right ,what's true
My heart tells me one thing
My head tells me another
I want to escape to myself
and try to run for cover
walking in the right way
in which there is to walk
it's so hard for me right now
I can not talk the talk
I need someone to help me to try
to figure out
while trying to escape from my thoughts
who is the one with the clout
I don't need to be received
or with no one to bother
All I want to do right now
Is throw my hands up and holler
Will someone help me escape from
the resounding pain
While I hold my cry inside
as sounds reverberate through
my brain
Trying to seek solace and peace
is what I need to attain
I can not escape the nagging
sounds that ring again and again
