The Soulful Atom

Reflecting over life through weird, crazy, ever changing, euphoric, absurd, confused and at times impartial lenses -a journey of curiosity and questions with my two alter egos.. as I try to fall out of the stagnation of instability.. or the desperate attempt to remain..

Being either or both..

The soul wishes to be apart from the body,
Just to know if it would feel the same..

I wish i could tear the two apart,
And see which of the two stories i would like..

The body tells me one,
And the soul gives up..

All the extravagant castles and elaborate dreams come crashing down by the wisp of just one remark, one feeling, one realization..

I wish I could tear the two apart..

Uncomfortable formalities seem better and wanted than comfortable closeness taken for granted..

I wish I could know which one of them to follow..
I wish I could lead the other in believing one..

Both head strong and both free-willed..
I'm left torn and confused as always...

How can i be either with both are me?
How can they be different when both are me?

What to live and what to leave behind,
Both seem equally important,
Though one is stronger than the other..

Both cannot co-exists, and still i carry them with me..

What can i choose, Being either or being both?
Though there is no choice to make..

no matter how you try to tear them apart,they will need eachother to persist.
