Me, Myself & Time

There's always two different sides to everyone

There are times that we can only use one

With a mixture of the good and the bad, what a bother

Two different personalities unwillingly fused together

I, myself was a victim of this confusing fate

Honestly, feels like it never had an expiration date

I was always the one who was shy, meek and prudent

Until to the point when i became a high school student

Slowly I grew into something different, thinking that it was better than what i used to be

From a shy, geeky nerd into a fearless, frank socialite

Finally had the courage to leave my old self, what an unlikely sight

Everything seemed to be so contrastive and exciting

The thrill of being a "somebody" that left me tingling

It was good kind of shudder, that new aura and attitude of mine

All of it happening so fast but i still feel fine

I stopped, sensing that something snapped

I came to know that i can't go back, I felt trapped

Both gained and lost something

Discovering that a part of me was strangely missing

I personally it's both normal and odd, it makes me curious

The fact that my personality has two sides, the feel of it being notorious

Unsurprisingly my two sides have similarities, it feels ordinary

I find it quite relieving, no need to be wary

At least there's something in me assuring that I'm still me

Maybe the reason I'm like this is because I wanted to be free

Free from restrictions and limitations

All that fear washed away with the use of my twisted concoctions

I just want to remain the same, hoping that it can reveal the real me

Like a bird who just wants to fly free

Time may have changed me to be something different yet still similar

But with it comes the realization of a person that's all too familiar

She may change from time to time, that's what she knew

Staying the same no matter what, is what she wants to proclaim anew
