Another Side of Me
August 10, 2012
She sits in the shadows of my soul,
Waiting for her moment of control.
The poisoned apple of my eye,
Only leading me to my demise.
She burns the brightest,
Surpassing the others with her persistence.
Ebbing away at my spirit,
Infecting my thoughts with disease.
Once she is provoked,
She can not be revoked.
You can see her in my eyes,
Filling me with despise.
The others tell me to take caution,
But she taints my perception.
She is an endless spiral staircase,
Her name outlines the frown on my face.
She is anger.

This was really good! My favorite line had to be "Her name outlines the frown on me face" and I mean, we all have that other side of us we don't want anyone to see. This definitely reminds me of a song called The Darker Side Of Me. It was well-written too. My only complaint is in the third section, well, thats the only place you didn't rhyme and it kinda confused me. It would flow better if it was all rhyme instead of mostly rhyme and then....that.

This is so well written and beautifully put together! My favorite line is 'the poisoned apple of my eye' its a very good spin on the original saying! :)
