Both Sides Of Myself

Both Sides Of Myself

A Poem by Brandon Taylor-Black
"

I am everything I claim to be, and nothing of it at all

"

        I'm a Lover - I'm Loved
I'm Hated - I Hate
Self Loving - Self Loathing
Narcissistic - Never vain
I'm a Killer - I'll be Killed
I'm your Joy - I'm your Pain
I'm the answer to your question
I'm your enigmatic claim
I'm the softness of Silence
I'm the pain in your screams
I'm the Angel that guides you
The Beast in your dreams
I want to be like you
I'm glad to be me
Because I bet you never
Lived trying to be me
Accepting - Trying to change
A Fighting Pacifist
I'm your moment of Clarity
I'll get you lost in the mist
I'm your friend - I'm a foe
I'm your neighbour - a Stranger
I'll pelt you with rocks
I'll guide you through danger
I lived my life living
Just trying to be me
Got lost along the way
But I'm glad I found ' Me '

we all hide behind masks, but damn this is taking it to the extreme lol
does anyone truly know anyone, including themselves? how much do we really know about ourselves and others?

your most honest piece, in my opinion.
