Two Sides of One Life


I am intricate, I keep people on the very tip of their little toes, I live my life as if it were a paradox, I like to switch things up when no one is paying attention, I would enjoy thinking the petty white pills aided in my life, I have layers like an ogre, I have been told I am egotistical, but what do they know, I have been told I am sweet like a sugar cookie, I have been told I have no chill, I like to keep people guessing, I even surprise myself some days, I will awake some days giddy and full of life, I will not sleep some nights and be cruel and harsh the next morning, I finally sleep and when I awake I will be completely different, I acknowledge I don’t know exactly who I will be, I go and talk sometimes against my will, I say I am fine when really the little monster of darkness inside me is trying to claw its way out, I am intricate, I keep people on their toes, I see that things are different, But that is what will make me achieve and conquer the world.
