Poem: “Me Versus Her”

I am all that you don’t see, and I am all that you see and more.

Faces I’ve never met are hidden in the dark.

I rebuild myself from the scars each face has torn.

She creeps up on me when I’m expecting it the least.

Slurring my words; it’s almost hard to breathe.

Fighting your fears, but the horrific feelings increase.

She is something that I wish I could be,

But at the same time, I wish I could get her away from me.

She is insecure and alone, yet confident and brave.

I can’t stop her when she takes over;

I think I might just be her slave.

She is half of what I should be and half of what I shouldn’t.

Half of what I want to be,

Half of what I couldn’t.
