Two uniformly vigorous forces
Flex me in distinct directions.
And being fully justified in their own right,
Compel me to make the toughest decisions.

On one side are power, pelf and prestige
And on the other is your utterly immense love
Totally incapable of making up my mind,
I look heavenwards, for guidance from above.

Being torn between reality and aspirations
I visibly struggle to retain my sanity
You misapprehend my intentions,
And accuse me of nursing deceit and vanity.

You believe that I have no concern anymore
So you decide to break away from me
But a little time is all I appeal for,
For now, I implore you to just let things be.

Will you give me the time I need,
To sort out my many-a battered feeling?
Time to let go of these materialistic desires,
Time for my wounds to finish healing.

To me, both are equal in weight
But I know I have to let go of material things
And walk into your world with a content heart
Cheerfully accepting all surprises that life springs.
