The Beauty & The Beast

The Beauty & The Beast

A Poem by Boldpen
"

Good and Bad are two things always present in everyone..... it's just... what we choose to be.

"
There is a beauty 
deep inside me 
generous, pure, hearty, kind 
calm and loving, 
to God she is serving 
A clay heart with stout mind 

Then is this beast 
on hate who feast 
violent, selfish, full of tears 
Blazing in rage, 
locked in pain's cage 
whose words pierce like spears 

And between these two 
lay I , without a clue 
gazing at my deed's lamp lit 
Only nice am I 
will be a true lie 
fault hide in me too, I admit. 

It's obvious, isn't it? 
This natural split 
Every single coin holds two faces 
but difference comes there 
when we decide where 
our soul will mark its traces. 

For I am the beauty 
and I am the beast 
but in end, what I choose to see 
For I am the good 
and I am the bad 
Yet, I am what I choose to be.

Just a random write....
I just discovered, every person is good and bad.... but what we are, is marked by what we choose to be.....
there are always choices.

You are not the "normal 15 year old," you are far beyond. At your age , this is a great observation. We do all have two sides. I find my darker, more sinister me comes out when I'm alone. I don't like that side of me. To counter it I try keeping myself busy. The rhyming pattern is so well developed and smooth.
Thanks.

An old American Indian proverb tells of two wolves dwelling in each of us that fight to live. One wolf is a ravenous beast and the other a nurturing guide. The one that lives is the one we feed.

Loved your poem describing the dilemma of knowing the truth and wondering how it will eventually express itself through you.

As it was said you are not just a normal 15 years old. People at your age write...differently. This sounds more mature, more serious. To be honest when I saw the title my reaction was "Again?" since those two words in this combination are over-abused. But once I started reading I was surprised. It wasn't what I expected and I was certainly pleased with that. Your structure is also good, nice tempo, easy to read. Good job!

Your writing is really good. I love this part,
For I am the beauty
and the beast
but in the end, what I choose to see
For I am the good
and the bad
Yet, I am what I choose to be.

Very strong and solid!

Very interesting observations, poetically expressed here. We all have the power to do good or evil...none of us are perfect, but we all live with that choice inside us. A very good write. Well done!
