Split Vote

Part of me says
        go one way 
part of me
      says 
go 
the other way
      a bitter battle 
inside
    Do you really 
think that 
  the road is easy 
to travel?
     No matter 
what they say 
it's a rough journey 
    filled with 
pitfalls and 
         distractions
a kiss at
   night and 
          off 
to dreamland 
the edifice of darkness
        soon 
crumbles 
      and you're 
back in the spotlight 
under a bright sun
     You'll need 
luck, good companions 
     and also perhaps 
a taste of the divine
