No one seems to know
Or truly understand
All the conflict
That lies within me
Like there are many
Of me inside
Things seem one way
They also seem another
Which are they to be??
So uncertain in any
Of what I say or do
I have been told
It all depends
On what I want
Nothing is right or wrong
Unless I perceive it to be
This is confusing
I do not understand
I want what is right
Discard the wrong
But what does it all mean
So many things in life
At first seem so easy
Will there ever be a time??
That I again can know forsure

Confusing times...we tend to think on a decision way to long. Usually the first thing you think is the right one.  Hope it gets better for you soon!

Where there is faith,
there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

I agree with Rebecca on this, Bridgette. Sometimes we can think ourselves into confusion. Great poem!

Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~

sounds like an apt description of discursive mind........the confusion, the cloudiness......and the turmoil....
well done.....
