Inner Conflict
by Vinnie R.
Trapped in a flawed body, but the mind is clear.
It knows that each life has a cross to bear
It is up to us to carry it with tears or cheer!
There are moments when the heart
Is conflicted by the wants of the mind
When the seeds of doubt and blame
Sadness and anger ignite a flame.
As we try to remind ourselves, it is all right
Somehow, it is difficult to see any light
Then one day if we stick around long enough
Wisdom comes knocking and we see
That all that seems horrible
Has the potential to be incredible.
If we just stay and give it a chance
At the end of the journey
As we look back at a glance
Maybe we would look with a smile
And say well it was all worthwhile!
