The Agony of Scorpio

Standing on a pedestal provided by my friends,
Carrying the weight of both worlds.
On one side, the love I have for order,
Reasoning, and equal justice;
Placed against the world of inner animalia,
Inner lust and inner fantasy.
Only one can win, and I have to unwillingly choose.
