Duality

Missing image

Inside of me there are two

a man who has been through a war
and a boy who dreads fighting


a man who is calm and fearless
and a boy scared and hiding from anger

 

a man who fixes high tech things
and a boy who likes simpleness

 

a man who likes challenges in life
and a boy who sleeps with a Teddy Bear

 

a man who loves everyone
and a boy crying "love me"

 

a man who counsels the hurt and abused
and a boy who cries at the sight of it

 

a man who knows his mom left him years ago
and a boy who wishes he had her back

 

a man who exudes confidence
and a boy who is lost and confused

 

a man who likes normal guy things
and a boy who likes baby rabbits and kittens

 

a man who who loves war movies and stories
and a boy who loves to write kids stories

 

a man who worked on fighter jets
and a boy who loves kites

 

a man who loves to make passionate love
and a boy who just wants a hand to hold

 

a man who isnt afraid to speak before thousands
and a boy who is shy and afraid of crowds

 

a man who is serious and thinks a lot
and a boy who is a clown and joker

 

a man who is a success at everything he does
and a boy who's mom said he was a loser

 

a man who lives in daily pain and hurts
and a boy who cries a lot and is weak

and the truth is... I need them both

    Wow this one is awesome. I have a couple like this.
    I love these kinds of writes too.
    Speaking of two in one and they are usually complete opposites.

    Great!

    Wow

    This is a powerful poem. I love the picture that you picked for the poem, it is perfect. A man who and then a boy who.

    and the truth is.... I need them both

    Brilliant poem written here. I thoroughly can appreciate each and every word. It's just I'm a woman and a little girl with many of the same feelings. The imagery was fabulous too in this write. I feel honored to have been able to read this. Thank you for sharing your gift to write poetry with heart and soul with me.
    Much Love

    As always you touch deep in my heart and write thoughts and feelings that I relate so much to. Wow! I know that adult and child duality.

    I am honored to read this, brother.
