TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVES
For Chris
(Written in 1996)




Torn between two loves

Sometimes feeling like a fool.

First love is that of a rebel;

Second love that of the world.



Torn between being a rebel

and loving the world,

Accepting others' as one,

Judging others' as the other.



Falling into looking at people

By the world's standard,

They must be successful

Or they aren't worthy at all.



Falling for changing personas,

Not wanting to judge and

Accept or not by that standard,

Wishing you weren't like that.



Torn between having been a rebel

and now being "successful",

Sometimes feeling like a fool

Torn between two loves.
