My Other Self
By day, I am someone important.
I am a scholar, a mentor, an innovator.
I am someone people love to be around. I am a joker, a confirmist, a comforter.
I am a helper, a lover, a laugher. I am me.
It warms me to know I help,
but sometimes I like to let my other self out.
She is the opposite of myself. She is many things. But I am she, and she is me.
By night, I am an explorer, a scientist, an inventor.
I am an artist, a punk rock star, a world-class chef.
I am a cat, an assassin, the most charming pursuader.
I am a warden, a lieutenant, a sargent, a soldier. I am a doctor, a diary, a gladiator.
I dont have an occupation,
yet I am everything I want to be.
My alternate is my opposite.
But I am she. And she is me.
