A Tussle In My Mind

I found a tussle in my mind between 
What I had hoped to do 
And what it seemed that someone else 
Wanted for to have me do.
It didn’t seem to me that what 
Was asked by others of me do, 
Was anywhere near what I had 
Wanted to be doing for myself.
I could in my mind’s little eye 
See bits of time go flying by,
Wasted, it seemed, while it and I 
Engaged in tugs of war.
It, adamant, would not yield
And I in spite, stood fast my ground,
For I, invaded, felt I must
Fall not to someone else’s whims. 
But, was it really someone else
Or maybe just my other self,
An internal different point of view
Than the one I first expressed?
It seemed but just a flicker of 
A moment in time’s passing by
Until it all was quickly solved
And I gave in to me.
