there are Two
oppossing
impossing
exposing
Sides to Me
Today which Side will it Be?

The Drunk & The Schemer?
or
The Poet & The Dreamer?

the Other Side
of the Other Side
The Dark Side
is hard to hide
That Side drinks & thinks
and seldom blinks
That Side runs amuck
gets drunk as a skunk
and all in all
has been my DownFall
afterall
That Side
hears The Call
That Side is not very mellow
That Side is not a very nice fellow

the Other Side
of That Side
i guess, This Side,
is quite a wide
distance apart
This Side has a Heart
a soft part
if you will
This Side can be Still
This Side can listen & hear
This Side doesn't live
in constant fear
This Side can Give
and Re-Ceive
This Side can Believe

so Today
which Side will it be?
the One or the Other of Me
guess i'll just have to wait two See

A good, strong write, Steve! I think this is true of many of us, to some degree. Sometimes we show many sided, many mooded personalities. It is good when we are aware of our diverse sides, and can embrace and try to nourish our better side and subdue and starve our darker side.
