Apart We Are Whole

One part of me is the mastermind. 

The other reminds me that yes, I am a mastermind!

Together, they are invincible. 

Without both, I am ruined. 

I first became dizzy. 

As uncertainty sets in. 

I begin to question my conspiracies. 

I begin to wonder if calling myself a mastermind-

Is a symptom of delusions becoming solidified. 

The two parts of me…

Which I thought were protecting me like superpowers. 

Were actually putting me in danger. 

As my mind becomes whole again-

I realized I had been acting on ideas that were incomplete.

I realized that the two parts ruined each other. 

Leaving one person behind. 

A person who has been ruined.
