Myself and I

September 20, 2014
By Anonymous

When I look in the mirror,

I'm torn in two.

Am I me?

Or am I you?

You try a smile,

I just frown.

It feels like we

Are upside down.

It isn't fair!

It isn't right.

You and I

Are day and night.

While I am quiet,

You are loud.

"It's not perfect."

You are proud.

You're the mighty

I'm the meek.

You know you're strong

I think I'm weak.

I am worried

You are not.

I feel friendless

You have lots.

I don't talk much.

"That's so nice!"

Yet I am brilliant,

And you are bright.

We are twins

Inside each other

Incomplete

Without the other.

I wrote this ages ago but I still feel this way most of the time. I don't think anyone has just one side to them.
