Myself

on the light side
i am funny 
i am outspoken 
i am smart
i am friendly 
i am  artistic 
i am independent
i am optimistic
i am dependable
i am trustworthy
i have self-esteem
i am confident 
i am lovable
i am amusing

on my dark side 
i am horrible
i am embarrassed 
i am depressed 
i am mean
i am tired
i am rude 
i am clumsy
i am hesitant 
i am not good at trusting people
i am always putting myself down

the two sides of me
they fight all the time
trying to take control of each other
but unfortunately  one has to lose
until then i am going to try 
my best to balance them 
or go down trying.
