Two

It's about a female with multiple personalities

Back at it again
Can't pretend like I didn't know it was the end
Im drowning but I still could breathe
Frowning but still at ease
Clowning on the surface like everything is still a breeze
Feeling these unnatural things you still can't see...
Some days I wish you would come around
But I rather slit my wrist before I let you see my tear drops hit the ground
So I let it out in these insidious ways
While still paying the price for my pass invidious days
S**t I don't expect you to understand
Had sex two different times with two different men this week
Two different hands, two different meat making my bartholin glands secrete..
Reckless actions to fill an empty void I can't seem to reach....
I must digress,
Two different personalities can compress the mind and cause a different type of stress
Two different lives living in one, still ain't enough to stop the heartache when the pain come
Two different feeling that won't intertwine so I can start my healing
One is not ready and the other one wants to go
One is not steady and the other one doesn't know
It's impossible for these two to grow
Won't expect you to understand that though...
Two different women given to you can cause a mixed perception of me
Love and hate at the same time but this is much different from jealousy
The creation of this Inner monster is something I can never apprehend
But it's out and about once again, while the other me quietly waits for this painful routine to end...

I very much love this mostly becuz of how raw & honest it is. I am bipolar, so a similar perception prevails. This could also apply to so many other ways that people show two faces. Your blunt descriptions are startling, but not shocking . . . the perfect edge without being offensive to some. Good rhyming . . . I'm of the opinion that rhymes don't have to follow any rigid pattern. Thanks to Emmajoy for read requesting me on your poem (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

You have taken hold of your deep and darkest feelings and painted the true picture of what being hurt and disappointed by a lover really means. Great form and right on target for the meaning you are trying to express.

I liked this poem. Hard and direct words. This is what poetry should be.
"One is not ready and the other one wants to go
One is not steady and the other one doesn't know
It's impossible for these two to grow "
The above lines. I knew a few times. People seem to be running away when they should run toward each other. Thank you Geisha for sharing your words and thoughts. Please send read request.

Firstly, brilliant meter, varying but always dancing the phrases as if engraving space. As to the two women, where to begin.. a fight within the core of one living, breathing person. Two entities at war with one another. The one locked in, scratching for a way out, longing to just sit. How one copes, don't know. But reading through i feel so much sympathy. Whether sickness or the need for a decision to be made to save your spirit. This should be read for more than those reasons above.. will recommend.
