The Clash of Beliefs

In the quiet corners of the mind

Where thoughts and dreams are intertwined

Two beliefs stand face to face

Each one claiming its own space

 

One whispers softly, "Stay the same."

The other shouts, "Embrace the change!"

Caught between these clashing views

A soul is torn, unsure to choose

 

The old belief, a comfort zone

A place where fears are overthrown

It promises a life of ease

But stifles growth and inner peace

 

The new belief, a daring call

To rise above, to stand tall

It beckons with a brighter light

Yet fills the heart with anxious fright

 

The heart, it yearns for something more

A life that's rich, an open door

Yet fear of failure, fear of loss

Keeps it bound, a heavy cross

 

The mind, it battles day and night

To find a path, to make things right

To blend the old with something new

And forge a path that's truly you

 

To let go of what no longer serves

And embrace the change that life deserves

For in this dance of give and take

A stronger, wiser self will wake

 

So, if you find yourself in strife

Caught between two ways of life

Remember this, and hold it true

The path you choose is up to you
