Two sides of the coin

Two sides of the coin

A Poem by Vidya Bacchus
"

Struggling with yourself

"

          Two sides of the coin

 

I am this person,

But you change me into her,

Who in the blink of the eye ,

Can bring you to your knees ,

With a smile on your face.

 

I am different than she,

Sweeter,quieter,better,

But she has all the fun,

While I am busy being good,

I'm jealous of her sometimes.

 

She knows what she wants,

And exactly how to get it,

With a sultry smile ,

And a wicked gleam in her eyes,

You willingly follow her into the fire.

 

I think she would wreak havoc,

If given half the chance,

And run roughshod over all those in her path,

But I am looking and realizing,

That the only one in her path.....is me.

Ha thank you again chica :)
Well I got to know the one side of you that is sweet gentle kind loving in Christ, whole hearted ability:) As I have learned we all can be taunted and a dark side come out , I don't think that is a bad thing , I mean like an animal or take a lion sure looks like a gentile cat but cross its path and see what happen but who was in the lions den and made it when locked with them ? Lol Dont be thinking lol:)))))))))))))))))

Aww sorry .No worries you will be fine :)
this is two sides of the same person...and when we are around certain people we seem to fall out of ourselves into another personality, just reserved for that one person...it's a reaction...like a coin standing on end.

This is very true Jacob.Thank you
This is outstanding piece ! You have written in the vein of an honest portrayal of human vulnerability and afflictions - even the sense of paradox is captured rather aptly. I like your ink !! Cheers

Thank you Shaheen .Nice to meet you and I appreciate the kind words :)
Loved this. It's funny, because I'm a firm believer that ALL of us are a bit bipolar. What I mean is, everyone I know (especially myself) has two sides. For me, it is always an internal struggle, most likely with no end. It can be a struggle with the past and the current or who you envisioned yourself to be and who you are or even who you are in a relationship. Very real, authentic and awesome concept. Really enjoy your writing.

Aww thank you so very much G :)
This is outstanding. And I have to say, hits home for me right now. Many of us are two people sometimes, and wonder where the other person gets her strength ---

Thank you Kit Kat :)
very interesting Vidya, the idea of two sides of the one person, the sensible side trying to keep the dangerous side in check, maybe most of us are like that, great concept and so well written in your words, as always...

Truly spoken....it can be :)
Now this got me thinking... I don't think we are ever content with how we are ourselves, especially people who aren't very confident and quite shy - like... me. Sometimes I think there is alot that I, myself, am missing out on because of how shy I am, sometimes I wish I could be more confident and open but it is my nature and although I try to change it I can't.

I can really relate to this one, my friend, it spoke volumes to me.

Hey Sanober.So good to see you.Thank you so much my kind friend .I hope that you are great :)
The different sides of us, the two sides of the coin, the changes we all go through, the different masks we put on, the jealousy that runs in even for ourselves, the many paths we chose. You have described your two sides wonderfully. Take care...:).........
