Torn - 05/09/23
Torn-
Torn between me,
Torn between you.
Torn between light,
Torn between blue.
You have to choose,
To gain or to lose.
It's not easy to find,
The words to say and to feel kind.
You never know,
Where it could go.
When you are going,
From familiar to unknowing.
It will all work out for your good,
And destiny will take it's shape as it would.
It hurts to let go and move forward,
But aiming to the light is what we're headed for.
Torn-
We are split in two;
But I will always choose me...
Therefore,
You should always choose you.
Torn between me,
Torn between you.
Torn between light,
Torn between blue.
You have to choose,
To gain or to lose.
It's not easy to find,
The words to say and to feel kind.
You never know,
Where it could go.
When you are going,
From familiar to unknowing.
It will all work out for your good,
And destiny will take it's shape as it would.
It hurts to let go and move forward,
But aiming to the light is what we're headed for.
Torn-
We are split in two;
But I will always choose me...
Therefore,
You should always choose you.

There are many changes I am experiencing in my life.. Sobreity, car accident, change of living situation, jobs- everything all at once for me. This was a writing came up in my thoughts for the roommate that lives here moving out. My bestfriend felt feeling sorry for standing up for her boundaries and goals... So she decided he had to go. Once I read the poem over again, I realized it metaphorically related to all my changes in life right now. A comerging of my past self and future self by meeting in the present reality with me. It was an AHA moment for sure. Hope you all enjoy! Blessings

Hoi hoi
If everything would stay the same forever, I figure we’d be bored out of our skull.
So what other options are there?
And you named them beautifully.
Welcome!!!
Kind regards, Gus

I could relate in a way to your situation about your change in living arrangement and the person you replaced as the home sharer. I decided to buy my flat (apartment in US) 6 years ago when it was being sold by a landlord who had a tenant, a young woman with two small boys. One relative asked if this troubled me I would be causing someone like her to be homeless - I replied I prayed God would help her find somewhere she could move on to. As it happened the girl had a partner (not then living with her) and while I was going through the few months long buying process she moved out, having found a property to live in elsewhere. After I moved in one neighbour told me it was happily quieter living next door to me as the woman used to host late night noisy gatherings in the place. By the time I got the keys the landlord had tidied the place up. This move coincided with a time my mother in her old age wanted to move into sheltered housing, we moved out of the family home into our respective new homes on the same day.

That's amazing, our roomie and us spent time together the other night, and we burst into tears.. We don't want any malice for him, we want him to have a good life and get better. We all worked together at the local super market when we were younger. But we are pretty sure he has somewhere to move now, that is close to his work. He was homeless for a while and has been house jumping. I have prayed for him and we wish the best for him. He is a sweetheart and great guy; even though we may have our differences. It made my month or time so far being here to dance with him and sing karaoke all as a family here the other day... it was a priceless moment I will never forget..

Life changing moments, those pivotal points, mark the start of a new path, the direction that aligns more with your state of mind.
Excellent work.
