Torn

I feel so torn and all alone
I don't know what to do
torn between knowing what's right
and doing what's right ,what's true

My heart tells me one thing
My head tells me another
I want to escape to myself
and try to run for cover

walking in the right way 
in which there is to walk
it's so hard for me right now 
I can not talk the talk

I need someone to help me to try
to figure out 
while trying to escape from my thoughts
who is the one with the clout

I don't need to be received 
or with no one to bother
All I want to do right now
Is throw my hands up and holler

Will someone help me escape from 
the resounding  pain
While I hold my cry inside
as sounds reverberate through
my brain

Trying to seek solace and peace
is what I need to attain
I can not escape the nagging
sounds that ring again and again
