Two Sides

imagine

if you did one thing,

and there were two sides.

one adored you.

while one mocked you.

you try to listen to one side,

then the other betrays you.

you try to please the other side,

but you get scolded.

what would you do?

would you run?

hide?

oh but if you do that,

both sides get upset

so you try to listen to both of the voices

screaming in your head,

but one person can only handle so much.

so every night you die,

just a little inside,

until one day your thoughts collide

like crashing waves on rocks.

so you break down.

then both sides comfort you.

but only long enough,

then the cycle begins again.
