The Truth Hurts

How do U know what is right...
When it's so complicated?
So many underlying factors,
Deep down U know it's so wrong.
Feeling like a horrible person for doing what U feel is so right?
One decision makes you a good person in doing what's right?
However, the other decision makes U feel like the worst person in the world? 
Making the choice feels so hard.
Even though making the choice U know is right...
Doesn't make it an easy choice.
What does one do, when the truth hurts?
