two of me

there are two of me
inside

(one you cannot see)

one official
with official words and
policies

meant to convey sanity

(and one shivering
at every corner

forlorn, and alone

hoping for a reprieve)

the one outside
knows all the answers,

or can find them
at a blink of the eye

steadfast and wise

(one wanting to
burst into tears
in a moment

sad and disappointed

staring at the skies)

i speak with
the intelligence of one

(and the heart of another)

trying to balance
the trembling inside

at all costs

it would exhaust me
if i wasn't used to being
all to-gether proper

(and a messy all apart)

(heart)
