Morning Or Night

Torn between the morning and the night
Torn between what's wrong and what's right
Faced with a decision that changes everything
How do I let go of my past perception?
Guilt and condemnation gnaw at me
With every thought, I think of change
Can't see the future or what it holds
The light where is the light to guide me
Fueled with turmoil am I hitting a wall
I'm so afraid I'm going to fail in life
Lord do I have a false perception
Clues I look for in everything that I do
I must not be ready to go forward
Due to the lost feeling in my soul
But I can feel the change headed my way
By my sense of lost direction of my reflection
There are two canvases in the dark
You know it's there but what to paint
Something different or stay the same 
Is it morning or night

These big questions of life you have asked in a beautiful metaphorical way. The answers are hard to give, we have to live out lives..... But write the way you do, that is a great way to go forward. Welcome to PoetrySoup.
