Dichoto(me)

Subversive Verses
Aug 22, 2017 · 1 min read

I may have a split personality:

One side -

Well, that’s the fucking ‘rotten me’

Obsessed with a craven, wanton need

Self deprived of autonomy

Embracing the deceit earnestly

That this fucking shit will set me free

This time tho, ’cause never previously

The other side -

When I’m off my face and I’m on my knees

Its only then, comes rationality

The remorse, the guilt and the empathy

Ironically — that’s the ‘nicer’ me

It’s only when I’m high that I don’t wanna be

And when I’m not, it’s the reverse, times 3

This my friends, is my dichotomy

Answers on a postcard, if you please.
