Both of me
Get to know me. Both of me.
Only half for you. So fortunately,
I barely know the real me.
It doesn’t bother me at all, only half you see.
As bright as I am in daylight, the darkness consumes my frail side.
Waking up with blood stained hands seems routine.
Maybe I should chain myself at night...
Keep my hands clean.
“Get help” is what I hear most people think.
I’m pretty sure both of me go to a different shrink...
My mind consists of plot holes.
Dangerous grounds filled with wroth moles.
I can’t decide if I’m suicidal or a soon to be murderer.
I can’t figure out if my wife left me,
or if my alter demon is the reason why I haven't heard of her.
I feel like both of me are the mirrors we look into.
I feel like slowly but surely our minds become see through.
Both of me.
I’m whatever both of me chose to be.

A real eye-opener and causes for self-examination. Hope all is well with you. Peace, oral

Brilliant but oh so dark.
"Both of me.
I’m whatever both of me chose to be."
In here lies the balance, ying yang. You seem very hard on your yang.
Costume idea for this halloween - no costume, come as you, both of you, bared naked for them all to see. Ain't that a scary thought
