Split

Can a person be strong
Yet feel weak inside?
Can we fight to be seen
As we're trying to hide?

Crying tears of pain
Beneath brilliant smiles
Fading through the black
While we push through our trials

Can we live on the outside
As if everything's fine
Though inside we're dying
Just biding our time

Can a person be peaceful
While inside they go mad?
As they're turning in circles
Giving all that they have?

Can't decide who we are
Even if we could choose
Whether happy or sad
Either way we would lose

Can a person keep living
Holding on to both lives?
Now so used to their pain
Neither side of them thrives

Needs some work still, so thoughts are welcome. This popped in my head while I was trying to go to sleep and I didn't want to lose it, so here is the product of my overactive mind.

I thought this was good. Yes Ichigo was a perfect choice for the picture. I can relate to this. I think everybody could which in sense is a good thing. Everyone does have inner demons. Marvelous write. Thanks for sharing. :)

Ichigo is awesome. Without that picture this poem would suck. Just kidding. I will tell you my thoughts offline.
