Mitosis

i'm split in two;

an exact replica on the outside,

my code is all the same. 

 

the original me;

who knows which piece,

you'll have to tear me apart to just see. 

 

she was so happy;

thought of life like an amusement park ride,

where now it's just live or die...black or white. 

 

the other me;

hidden in shadows, cast away,

scared to be myself. 

 

let alone let anyone see

both those sides of me,

but happy is who i'll be...

    I’ve always wondered

    What it’s like to be myself

    Openly and honest

    And not hiding behind bookshelves

    Waiting for someone to see

    And let me into their heart.

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
