Fayrouz Fouad Poet Rhyme

Split Mind

Losing the battle,
A mind full of rattle,
Yet there's no way out.

Half full of ambition,
Half seeking the vision,
Still, somehow aligned.

Thoughts stir in a pot,
While I sit in the same spot,
Can you turn down the heat? It's starting to burn.

One side aims to be superior,
The other thinks she's inferior,
Please, stop the contrast.
I can't keep up, I'm not that fast.

One half wants to be the best,
The other just craves rest,
Why must there be two hemispheres?

How can a child so calm, so wise,
Grow into chaos, truth in disguise?
The change was unforeseen, 
As is the path of this young teen.
