Of Two Minds
Contradictions forced
into a single point of view.
Tolerances tested to no end.
Shades of grey turn black and white,
my conscience splits in two.
As I find out just how far I can bend.

Middle ground is hard to find
inside of ones own mind.
Negotiations don't last very long.
When a single thought is all it takes
to break a compromise,
it's hard to say which side is right or wrong.

And so, for now the battle
rages on no end in sight.
A mind divided standing nonetheless.
Though hope for reconciliation
lasts to end this fight.
I doubt it will be met with much success.
