INNER PEACE

For those who are unable to choose.

There's a place at the center that everyone knows 

At the end of a valley where no one else goes 

Where the rage of the battle meets the eye of the storm 

Where the sole thing that matters is substance not form

 It's a place where the heart and the mind mold as one 

Where deep thoughts and deep feelings wage a battle hard won 

O'er frustration and anger and things left undone 

And the failures of self from which no one can run 

 And in order to reach there and to pick up the fight 

And to win, not for victory, but for that which is right 

One must follow a path which is narrow and straight

 And not waver, nor falter, nor tarry, nor wait 

And ignoring confusion and man's misguided pride

 Take the only course open, and that is: 

DECIDE.
