Two Shades
There are two sides to every person
A person like me could
be expressed in a myriad of
complex fragments of broken glass
In such abstruse shadows
a mask can be found
a mask to convey
a quixotic view of
a person like me:
Blotches of creativity decorate my left features
below eyes weary from the past
a rather zealous heart beats
steadily to tattooed initials
a lightning bolt stands bright and strong
to smite the obstacles that serve no purpose
a green plant marks prosperity and growth
it all represents something super and beyond
mere comprehension
There are two sides to every person
The right side was slowly being consumed
by the dark shadows of the past, present,
and assumptions of the future
blotches have turned into scratches of pessimism
below teary eyes
an incomplete heart beats no more
the initials nowhere to be found
a lightning bolt has lost its form and was now dim
not as alert as it should have been
music attempts to keep the withering plant alive
it was ironic to believe that this side was natural
There are two sides to every person
Two shades of me
