When the left eye laughed and right eye cried.

I felt relieved. But that made me empty.

I felt it was time to move on. But that made me even more tied to the past.

I felt I made an error of judgment. But that made me happy once.

I felt I was ready for the future. But that made me realize I have no heart for it. I cannot again will myself to be completely involved and my weak heart cannot bear strong emotions again. Ever.

I felt I was being myself. But that made all my friends (or so I thought) turn to foes.

I stood my ground. But I soon got marooned on the "I"sland.

I stated reason. They fought back with blind emotion.

I feel drained. But that only makes me want to stick to my beliefs even more.

That's when my left eye laughed and right eye cried.
