And This Is the Way...The Way It Goes

I feel the tide
Pulling
And tugging
My heart
My head
My body
Into two

What do I do
Where do I go
When everything's
A choice I have
To make

I feel the seasons
Splitting
And tearing 
My emotions
My thoughts
My actions 
Into four

What to be
Where to flee
From former
Yous and mes

I feel the days 
Dividing 
And subtracting
My hours
My minutes
My life
Into seven

What to know
Where to blow
Away where things
Don't materialize
So easily

I really like this. I've never imagined being materialized but this sounds like it may feel, haha. I love the emotion and confusion you show. Great write.
