Split Personality

I have a split personality.
There is no rationality.
At work I am all focus.
At play I am hocus pocus.

The mad me wants to dance.
The sane me says "Not a chance."
The imp inside cannot decide
to behave or to go wild.

It was Shakespeare who said
we put on a face to meet
the faces that we meet.
In other words,we cheat.

I have a split personality.
It's to do with conformity.
Poeterysoup let's me out of my box.
Imagination run riot. Let's rock!!
