A poem for a update....
Im trapped in this world between what i want and what i need,
In a place where one bad move can ruin my chances to succeed,
Blinded by the way i feel not wanting to surrender to something that might hurt,
Walking in the dark shadows no light to illuminate my self-worth,
Bond in chains so heavy but no strength to have them removed,
My weakness is my enemy, my flesh that needs reproof,
Shrinking away from the light afraid of what might be revealed,
Wanting so much to go to it, Tired of keeping things concealed,
Feeling way too much at home in a place not fit for me,
Knowing oh so well exactly where im suppose to be,
Longing for both worlds one hand stretched towards what i want,
The freedom to make mistakes, the liberties to flaunt,
Another hand stretched toward all the things i need,
Eternal security... living for the one who died for me...
As of lately i've been feeling kind of trapped in a world of what i want and what i need,
And i haven't yet decided which one its gonna be.
In a place where one bad move can ruin my chances to succeed,
Blinded by the way i feel not wanting to surrender to something that might hurt,
Walking in the dark shadows no light to illuminate my self-worth,
Bond in chains so heavy but no strength to have them removed,
My weakness is my enemy, my flesh that needs reproof,
Shrinking away from the light afraid of what might be revealed,
Wanting so much to go to it, Tired of keeping things concealed,
Feeling way too much at home in a place not fit for me,
Knowing oh so well exactly where im suppose to be,
Longing for both worlds one hand stretched towards what i want,
The freedom to make mistakes, the liberties to flaunt,
Another hand stretched toward all the things i need,
Eternal security... living for the one who died for me...
As of lately i've been feeling kind of trapped in a world of what i want and what i need,
And i haven't yet decided which one its gonna be.

Leila, I hope this comment finds you yet in a time of indecision, and I pray you will consider carefully! I believe with all my heart the second choice will give you a blessed life, a life to be proud of, not to regret, and there will be things you can enjoy very much! The second choice is much, much less restricting, as crazy as it seems. The first is very restricting- it brings bondage, while the first brings true freedom! Most importantly think of (who) each choice will put on your side! Who do you really want backing you, and who do you want to rejoice with your every choice? Who could ask for a better life than one of no regrets for doing right! I write this in all humility and sincerity! ~ben P.S. (take the road less traveled by, it will make all the difference, and you will have peace like no other road can give you!)

this sounds like robert frost's the road not taken.
was it inspired by his poem?
but yeah i know how you feel.
when you turn 16, you realize your not a kid
and from you have to make your own choices
and every choice you make will determine how your life will be.
indecision is hard, especially when you dont want to make a choice in the first place.
