Defining Me

I see a piece of me in you, the drive, the goals, the selfishness, and the struggles too, it's a magnet that pulls us two, to centre of understanding and conflict. if I say I dislike you, it's cause I dislike a part of me you reflect, and most times, I can't hide, because I meet me on the street, at church, at school, every where but in the mirror, cos the mirror speaks of a person with confidence, and joy but all that really is , is loneliness and questions. you can call me what ever you want, but I'm not so good at being pleasant like, I'm not bitter like , or sour like, no pretence, I'm water like, I'm what i like, a flow in time? Just passing by, with a long trail and a positive sign. I love love, but it is confusing, a head and a tail of a coin spinning in the air, left to fate and wind, none we can Control. A realist who fails not to dream, and dreams not to fail at being real. I speak my mind and so do you, 'cos that's all we know how to do, your body language says it all, though your lips are shy to move. Like you, I’m confused too.

I like the line - a head and a tail of a coin spinning in the air. :)
