Description Looking in my mirror I expect to see,
Myself looking right back at me,
But the face that I see,
Is not the face that belongs to me,
Although it is not mine,
I've seen it before, time after time.

I've slowly learned who exactly this is,
A darker half from deep within,
I've tried before to make him go away,
But in every battle he seems to win,
His face is similar to mine,
and we are alike in only that way,
he has been showing himself,
More and more each day.

When I do become him,
I do things that no one expects to see,
Any feelings of anger, rage and hate,
Are magnified until it's worse than it should be.

He makes sure these feeling are known,
He shares what I would never share,
he does things I wouldn't do,
He does what he does without a care.

I've begun to give in, mixing the two of us into one,
This mixing of good and bad is not so easily won,

And now as I look into my mirror,
It's only US that I see.

Oh hun!
That's a really good poem. It's really sad, but it has a lot of meaning behind it, and it makes a lot of sence. I really like it! and Ahem, *needs to see the other poem that you mentioned*
