Facets of My Being

There’s light and dark in every soul Control dictates their want and will. Drifting cold between the lines No sign of ever keeping still There’s more to me than meets the eye If you try, you’ll see some But never all, there’s always more Contoured my image has become Which part of me will you see? A bleeding wretch of a man? Or shall you find the light inside The sides of me you see and scan No one ever truly knows, Though my prose can show the truth, How many different forms I take, For your sake, I pick and choose. But all these different sides of me Scream at one another I walk so many paths at once Thus my soul is torn asunder I’m underkept and overwhelmed, Impelled to keep my soul afloat I try so hard to please them all Called a bitter man by most All of my light sides and dark sides, They flied amongst my hopes and dreams I try to keep them all aloft A cost this hath tolled on me But still, I hold to my oath Most would’ve stopped by now I hope you look at me and know I show only what I allow.
