The Shadow of the Golden Child

Location

There's ME and there's the TITLE.

I'm a double agent in my own life.

 

Alone,

my demeanor is at odds.

 

I'm mad at the world...

I smile and sing exuberantly...

I'm spunky and spontaneous...

My face transposes to crimson...

Tears cascade from my peepers...

I'm a hurricane of emotions.

 

I get anxious.

I stress A LOT.

I over think situations.

I listen to explicit music.

I don't wear my seatbelt.

I am an unorganized mess.

I devour sugary substances.

I participate in risky activities.

I'm scatterbrained most of the time. 

 

The TITLE is my better half.

It makes me perfect.

 

In public, 

I'm the poster child of purity.

 

I am unwavering.

Polished is an understatement.

A smile is plastered on my visage.

I'm the epitome of the perfect student.

I'm jubilant and sanguine.

I am the Rock of Gibraltar.

 

I'm a type A.

I'm punctual.

I'm inventive.

I am ambitious.

I am systematic.

I'm a role model.

I am a well spring of knowledge.

I have my ducks in an immaculate row.

Dennis the Menace couldn't ruin my day.

 

There's ME and there's the TITLE.

I'll be home while it walks in my shoes.
