"Torn"

I am torn between two options
Unsure of which way to turn
Do I take the road I know
Or the one that is unsure

The first road leads nowhere
There is just simple existence
The other road can grant me
Overwhelming eternal greatness

There is so much I desire
And so much I cannot have
Still unsure of my ambition
And abilities at hand

I ask myself silently
Do I have the courage
Or even the strength
To walk the road of fame

Or should I just continue
Leading my normal life
The place where its safe
But boring and cold

I sit quietly in a chair
Looking absently into space
Pondering my torn existence
And all of the human race
