Split Poem by Jake Samuelson

What can you do, when you have to choose
Between the one you 'love' and the one you want
How can you pick, when they both are true
What can you see, to make the choice
How will you breathe, when its done
This is what i need to answer
This is what life is
This is.. This is.. Life, True life.
Choices that will make you, or break you.
One is close, one is far.
What can i do, when i don't know
I feel as if i have lost my path
I know that either choice will hurt someone
No matter what path i choose
There can be no going back
I dont want to play with such high stakes
But thats life, cold unforgiving, ending life.
What's our meaning here, why are we here?
To break hearts? I don't know, if i can be the man
That i need to be.. I wish i would be shown the way
I wish i could see the future.. Wish.. what a helpless word
Wishes never come true.. At least not for me
Its as if I'm split Half wants one thing, Half wants the other.
Each being its own entity, shouldn't i reward them both?
But i cant, it goes against what every one says..
What does everyone say? They tell me..
They tell me i need to be true, that i need to be strong
Having everything you want is a sign of weakness?
Or is it just being corrupt.. Split, choices to make
Hearts to break, Why do i need to do this?
I dont know.. Life is cruel..
