Other Side of Me
to know me is to hate me
to hate me is to never have known my other side
my alter ego buttersilk
buttersilk is like wearing my heart
on my edible sleeve
to spread me melt me and consume me
the original me is the original sin
like porcelain midnight black as evil
and smooth as glass holding in
and reflecting back distorted imagery
of pained submission my plight is cumbersome
and headed for your mind's window
