Two Halves
I come from two halves of a whole.
Both say the other is evil, and wrong;
yet I see them as irreplaceable.
I don’t understand what to do.
I come from a family’s unfueled flame,
blowing on the embers, trying to keep it alive.
I cry out for help, but no one comes.
Everyone chose a side, I stand in No Man’s Land.
I come from a school like any other.
The students think they are super special snowflakes,
myself included,
but no one wants to accept the truth, #Same.
I come from a country ruled by fear.
“They” are coming to get us.
“They” shouldn’t be allowed here.
When in reality, we are all “them.”
I come from a home where things aren’t this serious ,
watching movies and stand-up comedy,
playing Smash on the TV and.
teaching the dogs new tricks.
I come from a lifeboat of friends,
a lifeboat so small, it can’t fit everyone.
If you say wrong, or do bad…
you will be thrown over.
I come from two halves of a whole.
Both say the other is evil, and wrong;
yet I see them as irreplaceable.
I don’t understand what to do.
I come from a valley.
Fire spreading from both sides,
I stand in the center.
A bastion for the two halves.
