Torn

Two desires
forced into one body
the seams become worn
threads snap
tears fall
one half is grateful
wants to embrace
the people
who helped her along the way
the other half is scared
angry at the world
unsure of what comes next
timid to face it
reluctant to let go
one half wants a hug
the other wants to hide away
one half wants to give in
the other is strong
fierce
ready to fight
part wants to cry
another is numb
pull one way
tug another
the fabric is torn
