Am I two sides?

One good, one evil
One strong, one weak
One afraid, one fearless

No
I’m all the above
Pure, and whole
Nothing, something, and everything

I wake up breathless
Chains bind me
I know they are me
I made them

I made my prison
I made those walls
I locked the cold lock
I made it all

I wake up
“Life is good”
Then comes the pain
Real Pain ™️

Like the lava of Mt. Doom
It burns
I feel betrayal
Then I whisper. “I love you.”

I always said, “I will age like fine wine.”
I let her age me, with other fine spirits
Isn’t irony a pleasant mistress?
Isn’t she pleasant, just like wine?

Now that I’ve matured I’ve left her behind
I left her with other spirits, as I breathe in time

My spirit feels strong; I feel alive
I was right
“I will age like fine wine”

I am blood
I am bone
I am water

My heart is the throttle
My mind is the brake

I’ll take my time
I’ll breathe just fine
I’ll never give up
Until the end of time
