My Evil Twin — a poem of self discovery
A Jeffreys Sonnet
1 min readApr 16, 2025
I fought against my evil twin,
The same struggle again, again.
I’d win, but it would all replay,
Around and ‘round until I’d cry,
And beg my God to help me try
To stop her, keep her far away.
To my dismay she did not go;
Instead she threw her strongest blow,
Felled my defenses, conquered me.
But then she knelt down at my side,
My stinging bitter tears she dried,
Bent to my ear, whispered, “You’re free.”
At last I see that we are one:
My conflict done, I’m truly me.
Esther learned to read when she was four years old, and began writing shortly thereafter. She is a Canadian queer Christian poet, crafting with words to create art and music.
