Dr Jekyll And Mrs Hyde

She had a busy life, with no time for fun Being a scientist, always on the run Well respected, well mannered exterior Belief in duality human nature superior Believing we all have a good and evil inside Obsessed, her studies she would try to hide In a quest to separate two opposing forces Created a potion, to see what her course was Waking she felt quite exhilarated Fascinated it’s freeing, rejuvenated With a sense of freedom felt a liberation Not realizing there was a transformation Drinking the potion she felt an exhilarating rapture Clueless that her personality would be fractured When the room began to spin round violently Losing control she had fallen down silently Dr Jekyll didn’t realize what she had unleashed Or how her repressed desires turned beast Never thinking her alter ego she had set free Complex she had no idea what would be When realization hit, she could no longer hide After Hyde took a life, she was horrified Horrors of her actions came to her gradually Not knowing she lost her own individuality With the potion brought on a complication Forgetting what was her selfish motivation Consumed with guilt, blood on their hands Trying to think quickly, she needed a new plan With her action, an alter she couldn’t break Tormented by a creature she can never escape Feeling trapped with herself and her monster In the end it was both their life’s that had cost her

I like this retelling with a female mad scientist instead. Maybe someone in Hollywood is listening?
