The I Within She

Location

This is I

I'm gone in the blink of an eye

That is She

She is the one that people see

 

I'm the creative spirit

I live by the minute

She is the perfectionist

She dwells in her deficit

 

We were never friends

She didn't want anyone to see me

I don't know why she has to pretend

Why can't we just agree?

 

Why are we so different?

Why do we have to be forced together?

I can't deal with her diffidence

Why does she always have to surrender?

 

Can't she let me surface from within?

I can break down the walls she built

She thinks such an act is forbidden

Oh, why do we have to be so split?!

 

But, there is one thing I like about her

She always thinks with logic

However, logic isn't always better

Deep within, I know she likes to be chaotic

 

Are we really all that different?

Maybe our differences are insignificant

Maybe she is I,  and I am she

I am within her, and she is within me
