Arguing Peace

Once a dark place 

Now a dim light,

These two are breaking me,

Always in a fight.

When i was young

She stuck by my side

The darker one

I always did confide.

Abusive home i found myself

No one to befriend

But she understood

She held my hand.

But now her poison seeps

deep into my veins

As i get older and realize

She isn't whom she says.

This woman is my evil half

She shut me down and made me numb

to feel no pain.

my reflexes dumb.

Loneliness had hit it's peek

No parents nor friends

So i took the protection nearest me

My scars and wounds she mends.

Not anymore the other says.

This other woman stood,

her hair flowing white

she is clearly good.

She has stood by too long

She now stands in front of me

telling me I don't need that evil woman

And that she herself will set me free.

I side with her

and change my life

to adapt to becoming a leader

choosing to sheath the knife.

I am no longer young

Evil is for the weak

I will now stand for myself

No matter how bleak.

They have fought,

they have made a meal of me

but it does not matter

for I, myself have made peace of the three.

Good, Evil, and I.

 

Author's Note

In one point of my life, I shut down and became engrossed in my make believe worlds, because the real world wouldn't take me.
Those years are over, and now neither sides rule.... Just me.
