Torn

broken pieces
shattered and unformed
no telling the difference of what is yet to come
cold and unkind
discouraged and down
all about is doubt
my own life is a jigsaw puzzle
never telling the fate of time
but all my life is doubtful and bleak
nowhere to turn
who once was by my side fled as danger approaches
who once was my friend claimed now to never known me
i want to be myself
but i want everyone to like me
it's like i want to stand out but not alone either
how can i decide?
between those choices now
i am torn
