Opposites

By: Jenna

 

There are two of me hidden in one…

Both are complete opposites of each other in everyway but one…

The same fate they share together is the fact both of them are one….

Both of them are me.

 

One sits in a dark room alone her arms curled around her body for any signal of warmth…

Her hair falls guarding her tear stained face her body is scrawny from lack of food…

And blood drapes her arms as words slice open fresh wounds…

She sees the door but won’t pull it open the truths of the lies keep her locked and hidden…

Taught that nobody will really care that she must keep it in forever…

She is the first part of me.

 

The next one lifts her head proud and strong her features flare danger…

No tears mark her face and her body is raw with undefined power…

She plays her cards and shows a person everybody wants to see…

She knows who’s behind the door the girl that is her but she leaves her there…

Why risk getting hurt even more?

 

In this world they say opposites attract…

Well in mine they attract to kill one another…

So my only question now is …

Who will die first?

The girl I keep hidden away safe in the darkness…

Or the other girl who is the mask the first one wears.

 

In this world opposites attract…

But who would have thought that their opposite…

Is really the one person they know best…

Themselves.

i adore when writers admit and openly explore the human dichotomy
it is the extremes and tastes of contrasts where we learn and strike balance

This was an incredibly profound and well woven work of art! The concepts integrated into the words are one's that run deep within humanities need for shelter, safety and acceptance. The last stanza was my favorite as it really binds us and shows us that we all have a mirror. Sometimes it's the lead in the dance, other times it's our jailer.

Great Ink!

Thanks again M. :D I don't feel afraid to really let myself go now! And, I'm really glad someone else feels the same things I do...my next question is..where have you been my whole life!?! haha! Thanks again

Wow, this was really amazing, and definitely could relate to it. I keep myself hidden in many ways, actually. I, too, get scared, because im really self-conscious about a lot of things, and am the more shy, introverted type who doesnt say too much, but there's also another side of me where i can or want to be the life of the party, and want to get in on conversations as well. It's definitely a battle of sides tho to be 'normal' i guess; it's a really tough one. I feel this completely. Great imagery and descrition, and definitely full of emotions here. Great job!! :)
