Torn Between

Torn Between

A Poem by Healing Star
"

When I get confused I find it comforting to go sit by a River.

"
I'm torn between walkin' Off
And runnin' after You
Torn between the Roots
And springin' out New Leaves, River what should I Do

Where are those Bright Skies
That I use to Know
Was it only my Mind
That stole them from Me

You know somebody told me Once
All troubles are birthed in our Minds
It seems that's the only place that Fear Resides
Cause when I'm here with You, it's not what I Find

I'm torn between two Worlds
And I know both I have Created
I'm afraid of bein' lost here too Long
I'm just hopin' by you, I won't be Hated

For so long I lived completely Distracted
And it was so Easy to not Feel the Pain
It was without this sickness, but less True
Like skies filled with Clouds but with no Rain

Where are those Bright Skies
That I use to Know
Was it only my Mind
That stole them from Me

You know somebody told me Once
All troubles are birthed in our Minds
It seems that's the only place that Fear Resides
Cause when I'm here with You, it's not what I Find

But now I Fear, that it's all slipping Away
And the faster it Rolls, the Control I have grows Less
Maybe I only was fooled to thinking I had Control
It seems everything is moving to a Grand Mess

I'm torn between walkin' Off
And runnin' after You
Torn between the Roots
And springin' out New Leaves, River what should I Do

I sometimes feel Lost, and the Pity is Fine
Seems I'm the One who's getting ready to Waste
And the Longer this Feeling Lingers inside Me
The more I'm starting for Life to lose my Taste

But there's so much here Still inside of Me
I can't let these thoughts of Loss get Me Down
I have to Find a way to turn this whole thing 'Round
I wanna Laugh, and Sing and get rid of this Damn Frown

Oh Lift Me, Oh Come and Lift Me, Lift Me outta This
I can't stay down here Anymore, I gotta Climb Out
Oh Lift Me, Come and Life Me, Come and Lift Me
I can't stand this Feelin' anymore, crush this Doubt

I'm torn between walkin' Off
And runnin' after You
Torn between the Roots
And springin' out New Leaves, River what should I Do

Yeah, river I hear what You're Sayin'
I'll let you take it, take all these wasted Feelings from Me
River Flow, River Flow, I'll let it all Go
Here you can take it, all these Wasted Feelings from Me

I'll let your Waters Heal Me
I'll let it all Go, I'll let it All Go in your Flow
I'll let you Roll Over, Roll Over Me
I'll let it All Go, I'll let it All Go in your Flow

I'm sittin' here on your Bank feeling you Move
No longer Torn, I'm fixin' to Mend
Now that You've carried all these Thoughts from Me
I'll make a Big Turn just like the way you Bend

Now I see those Bright Skies returning to Me
Those Bright Skies that I use to Know
And now I See it was only my Mind
That stole them from Me
