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. W.C.Hull © 2017-17-1-954-E
