Two Sides of the Same Coin


     Cold
     Frosted
     Bitter

Meaningless to you, no?

Because you're so
     Perfect
     Golden
     Saintly

But I'm a
     Monster
     Villain
     Outcast

Two sides of a coin
     -never to meet
Two peas of a pod
     - nevertheless different
Two prints of a human
   -similar, but never enough.

     Superior
     Flawless
     Pure
That's what you want to be and

     Immoral
     Twisted
     Scarred
That's what you think me to be but

You can't face it can you?

     Broken
     Unwanted
     Lost

 

That's who we are.
