Conflicted

It's a conflicting thing
I'm so damn conflicted
Spun twisted and frayed
So lost and I'm livid

Conflicted to move
Conflicted to stay
In this real life 
Or a conflicting game

Held down and on stand by
A conflict to resolve
Conflicted to even
Make a good call

I'm conflicted by them 
In a conflict with myself
Torn inside and out
Conflict says oh well

Life is one big conflict
Made of lesser ones so
Living is a conflict
So it goes to show

So conflicted I fight
The struggle is real
Conflicted is just
One way that I feel
