The Other Me

"The Other Me"

Sometimes i feel there's another person in me

Fighting to get out

She's sharp & dangerous

So tempting & taunting

She's like venom filled candy

Strays, where id stray away

Smiles, in the darkness

Longing for excitement

Plotting my downfall

Waiting for me to slip

She's a devil on my shoulder

Please don't whisper in my ear

She thinks im too boring

That rules were made for breaking

She says im too good

& that's just no fun

Praying on me

When im at worst

Feeds on my weakness

At times she gets the better of me

& im left to clean up the mess

So i cage her

In the back of my mind

While she waits for me sink back down

A never ending process

But she just wont leave

Cause i need her

& she needs me...
