I'm a mess
A complex and troubled soul -
Not to be dramatic,
Not to be theatric
But life has taken its toll
Complications of the heart
Temptations of the flesh
I'm not one to share
Even less, one to confess,
Yet I live a life of contradiction -
My Yin and Yang have conspired against me
For I have myself shackled
Yet, all I want to do is be free
I'm a mess
Too many wants
Too many haunts
The question in my head doesn't end,
"Can a broken heart ever mend?"

I can relate...
Yes, broken hearts mend if you learn to let go of the pain.

Your flow of rhyme and message are in harmony. Enjoyed the intimate nature of this. My last write was about yin and yang as well, but more in a sense of illusory opposites.
