Poem Commentary

there are times when a person can only live so long with themselves before they begin to tear themselves apart. I have done this numerous times over my life, and I still haven't gotten a clear picture of who I am.

GEMINI

What care I for love and laughter ?
Those common inequaties my life knows not.
For the pain and confusion that they leave after,
all the joy and happiness is forgot'.
The times I have held the two in my grasp
were oft coupled with misery and fear.
Enduring and suffering the unmerciful task
of choosing which cross I'd rather bear.
Fighting myself in a war I will never win,
for I can't peacefully coexist with me.
So until the battle is fought, died the noise of the din.
Which twin will survive? Someday I will see.

You just explained the eclipse that I am. Poetry of this nature always catches my attention. You wrote it with great rhyme scheme. Trying to bring two halves into one whole. Beautifully ended.

again, this is a wonderful metaphor...and your phrasing is wonderful, the ninth and tenth lines express something I can definitely understand...powerful writing. 10

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
