Alter Ego

I have a dual personality;
I have bipolar tendencies.
 
One minute I'm on cloud nine,
the next I'm on the ground.

 

I know deep down,
my soul is happy.

 

But the other part of me
fills my brain
with negative thoughts.

 

It's a constant battle
between the truth
and the lies of my enemy.

 

My foe calls
my head her home.

 

It's a chronic state of mind,
but it's all I know.

 

Pessimism is a reflex,
an involuntary action
based on what happens to me.

 

But contentment
is a choice.
