Battle Within

This battle within 
A battle that is unending 
A battle where right wants to conqueror,
but wrong is still there
A battle where I am torn between two places 
In this battle I will have to choose which side I 
am on
In this battle I can not be like a flounder
Flounder where I just flip flop, and I do not 
know what side I am on
Flounder where I struggle to move, or struggle 
to make a decision 
Struggle to make a decision before 
it is too late
I will feel the consequences, or regrets 
from either decision I make


Flounder where I am transforming myself  
into two different things for each side 
Transform make a thorough or dramatic change in 
form, appearance, or character
When I transform I am turning 
myself into something that is not me  
This battle within is like fire vs. water 
Like cold vs. hot 
This battle within I am going to have to choose, 
either I am wrong or right 
Either I am hot or cold 
This battle within determines where I go
