My Two Sides

On the good days I have a caring heart

My smile brightens up the room

I help others around me

I’m thoughtful in everything I do

Then out of nowhere

I become dark and depressed

My negative attitude says it all

Evil puts my soul to the test

I walk in two paths

Not knowing which way to go

I’ve tried many times

Not knowing which way the wind will blow

I’m lost inside my head

Life plays such silly games

I’ve felt distant cries

I’m falling through the cracks

I’m an angel on the good days

A gargoyle on the bad

The two sides to my identity

Make me wonder who I truly am.

Sarah Wlochal,

Stop wondering... you are definitely a writer; two sides, more appropriate than one when placing thoughts down on page.

You have certainly created a write that we all (at least for most of us) can identify with.

Dwelling within we unconsciously call the bad to take the lead, the spotlight.

This write has forced me to look in the reflection of my own soul.

Thank you for sharing, this write would be great in Poetic Infusion Society's contest Enlightenment.

Great Job,

Legacy

Emotions are so wonderful, relatable as well.
