Duality has two sidesbut has no center

 

on the left side is Duality

 

and shes angry and mean


shes emotional


irrational

thoughtless


mindless


and Duality doesnt have anything nice to say


but she says everything that comes into her head


shes impulsive


self-righteous


insufferable


but she feels like shes right


so she keeps charging forth


even though she knows


shell regret it soon

 

 

on the right side is Duality

 

 

and shes helpful and unsure


shes regretful


doubtful


unwilling to commit


and Duality has so many things to say


but she keeps it all to herself


shes lovable


smart


amazing


but she feels like shes wrong


so she keeps going backwards


even though she knows


shell charge forward soon

 

 

even though Duality knows


she cant commit

 

whos to say she hasnt


tried

 

 

whos to say she hasnt


looked at herself


and asked


why am i like this

 

 

whos to say

 

shes not just


two kids


in a trenchcoat


fighting for control


until theyre


sitting in the shower


reflecting on their lives


because the only time

 

 

when they can agree on something

 

 

 

 

 

 


is when Duality takes a break
