My Other Self

By Lydia S

Why does my world constantly have to spin?

Fighting against the

other person living in

my head

Never going to win

Thinking back to all the

things that were said

Like the devil and

angel, sitting on my

shoulder

Not knowing what to

even say

Sitting with my

indecisiveness getting

older

Scared that my life is

going astray 

Regret is what haunts

me the most

Never doing what I should have 

Is the thing in life that I

loathe

My devil just sitting

and waiting for me to

crack

I see my reflection

But with a tear in my

eye

Wishing this was a

deception

My other self tries not

to force out a cry
