Notes About The Poem

The Two of Me

 
I believe within me dwells two people, One is crazy happy and the other is gloom; My childhood was nothing but upheaval. Sometimes, I am so crazy and gleeful, But- I have a part inside me full of doom; I believe within me dwells two people. Mom said, I looked at her with eyes evil, Then, that part of me would leave the room; My childhood was nothing but upheaval. I had a pretend friend- deceitful, One time (the other me) stole mom's perfume; I believe within me dwells two people. So much sadness, but am crazy joyful, But (the other me) is looking in tombs; My childhood was nothing but upheaval. Part of me is locked in a death sequel, But, the good me is crazy zoom, zoom, zoom; I believe within me dwells two people, My childhood was nothing but upheaval. ____________________________ May 20, 2016 Poetry/Villanelle/The Two Of Me Copyright Protected, ID 16- 792-418-0 All Rights Reserved.
