When loyalty spilts

"The conscience was ripped apart“
 when in the arena—
 stood my ‘faith’ on one side,
 and my ‘family’ on the other.”,
                                                                   ~Byeol

Richards remark to you was nice. This is a bad position to be in though.

Grateful you heard the silent battle. Faith will guide. Time will answer.
