Split Personality
Two men blend into one
Are they actually the same?
Tall yet short
Old but young
Good and…evil?
No, I must fight
Fight this demon
You cannot for he is you!
I am…him?
Losing the battle,
I won the war!
Oh did you really?
Living now with renewed vigor
Getting back in the swing of things
I am normal again
So you think
You can’t hide from me forever
I will rise
No it cannot be true
This cannot happen
This demon within me is
Rising again!
What I thought would lift my spirits
And bring me happiness
Will lead to my demise.
For shame, I beg forgiveness
My poor friends are clueless
What shall I do?
My own selfish agenda
Will lead to my dishonorable demise
No one can help me
Is that a knock?
I shall die with my right mind
But within this body
Of a caged monster
Set free at the wrong time
So long dear friends…
