I have a '93 Honda Accord. The trunk won't stay up with out using a support. It looks like it has two torsion bars but I am not sure how to replace or even if they are the issue. Help?

Torsion bars?
Don't the supports look more like long skinny shocks rather than torsion bars?
Support struts are common on that trunk lid.
They are an issue if they don't hold. And they can be replaced, for a price. Those aren't inexpensive parts.
Shop around for the best price for replacements. Take a gook look at the ends of the old units and match then up with the new units. If they match, let us know and replacement instructions will follow.
