She

                                                      

She is always with me

Sometimes quiet, sometimes sad

She can be so very pleasant

And she can be so very bad

All my life I have spent with her

She’s there each place I go

There are times she’s full of laughter

Many times that is not so

For she seems a darker creature

Full of self and unconcern

Always thinking of the wrong things

Regardless of the truths we learn

She is cute in her own way tho

That’s her strongest trait so far

I can’t even quite control her

That is why, we are where we are

Now we’re fighting for control here

First it’s her and then it’s me

People never see this struggle

For it’s inside where none can see

But some day one will be stronger

Yet the world will never know

When the one becomes a winner

Then the other one must go

How I’ll miss these little battles

But the strangest thing might be

Not me who is the winner

But the winner might be she
