The Inner War

by Beautiful Chaos   Jan 14, 2013


Have you ever wanted someone to stop talking to you?
Filling you with their opinions
Their bullshit
Irrational thoughts
Pointless pondering

Yes, yes
Walk away
Don't listen
But how do you ignore yourself
Shut yourself off?

You follow your heart
When you should listen to your head
Listen to your head
When you should follow your heart
A constant inner battle

Attached to things
People
People becoming things
Suddenly you're not sure
What you own or what you appreciate

One minute fighting to let something out
Next trying to contain it
Force it in
Lock it down
Break it, break yourself

You become the conforming, nonconformist
Torn between what you know and feel
Fighting to be someone you don't know well
For something you love
For someone you believe in
