Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Divided Mind

There be division in my mind,

Torn between my guilt and my pride.

A solution I sought to find,

To no avail, hard as I tried.

Yes, I had treated a friend wrong.

But the same friend had wronged me too.

The guilt I felt in me grew strong,

But the pride in me also grew.

Both these forces, intent to fight.

Such a problem, how could I solve?

I needed find a force for right,

So calmed down and let such evolve.

The guilt and pride faded in me,

As I found some humility.
