Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde
unapologetic with my actions
even when it leaves me frantic
take me for the good
and not my selfish side
it’s only a faze
that I conjure up from time to time
Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde
all is all I have for me
all is how it’s gonna be
hurt to the point of numb
broke to the point of a monstrous
don’t want to end up alone
but can’t hide the lies
promises are meant to be broken
so I give my heart away
encase the ugly side takes over
it will hold the essence of my hope
the man that once had a heart to give
all is all I have for me
all is how it’s gonna be
hurt to the point of numb
broke to the point of a monstrous
sunny days turn to darkness
flowers become withered and fragile
eyes are filled with green of envy
over thinking every action
wanting to control with my strength
never have I felt so weak
and now
my hunger has become relentless
when you go too fast
you'll end up like the dead
anyone close just an innocent victim
starting to hate what I see in the mirror
best to take a knife to that blackened heart
might be the only chance
before I become too lost
even when it leaves me frantic
take me for the good
and not my selfish side
it’s only a faze
that I conjure up from time to time

A older poem I felt like updating. When writing it i wanted fiction with a bit of reality to it. Hope people like it.

Wow ... this powerful ... potent ... great flow ... so captures the essence of Stevenson's novel ... I recently read it ... it was simple ... but so unnerving ... disturbing ... nice poetic reflection ...

So good! Palpable pain and suffering felt, DC. The rhythmic repetitiveness of that 'monstrous" line really played cleverly well into that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde feeling, Imo. I am glad you updated this, it's extremely well done... I was enthralled and pulled along, reading.

There are multiple sides to all of us. It is far to easy to exalt oneself of being above certain things or infallible, to create a false façade to make everyone believe the other side does not exist, all the while showing very much that it does. Suffering can bring out many things in people; perhaps the worst and perhaps the best but it depends on so many things and we are always trying to adapt and survive. Also, this made me think of running around London and Edinburgh while growing up in the UK which brought back some good memories and I suppose in line with the spirit of the piece some bad ones as well. I really enjoyed it.

I feel many times we aren't always what people believe us to be. And it's because people are many things. People can have a good heart but at other times be down right evil.
I've only been around the USA. I wish I could travel more. Especially lately with how bad the politics are here.
Thank you for reading my poem. It's very much appreciated 😁
