Gemini

There is no completeness.
Just a conjoined two-parter,
both morose and merry,
poured in equal measure.

Doubled and divided.
A personality duel
both losing and winning.
Enjoyed and loathed the same.

The stars eke this chasm,
disabling self-belief,
turning my happy soul
toward the drear darkness.

You have well-portrayed the dual nature of a Geminian. I know, because, I am one.
