The battle within me

By Mistress Morbid

Sadness
Misery
My best friend

Torn
In two
Directions

What should
I do?

An angel
On one
Shoulder

A demon
On the
Other

Who should
I listen
To?

"She didn't
Mean to
Do it..."

"Yes she
Did
She hates
You,
Take
Revenge"

Shut up
Shut up

I don't
Know what
To do

"Forgive her..."

"Spit on
Her,
Make her
Feel insignificant"

My head
In my hands

Pounding
Throbbing

I can't
Do it

"It's ok,
Kindness
Is the
Best way..."

"Fuck that
Humiliate her,
Cut her
Down to
Size"

Tears blur
My vision

I shake
My head
NO!

I pound
My fists
On the mirror
Shattering it
All over
The floor

Bloodied hands

    weighing up decisions is always a bitch, and this illustrates it so well. (I have to admit though I had visions of Smeegal and Golom from LOTR as your angel and demon...I am brainswashed by the media) Fox

    Hehe, seriously though, the last minute twist was like BAM. Kinda shocked me that you would be thinking bad things about yourself. I don't see why...
