Split Personalities

SPLIT PERSONALITIES

By the Urban Poet

Innumerable characteristics 

Lots of quirks and traits

Moods, feelings, personas

Too many to contemplate 

 

Those stern faced and stoic 

Straight laced and serious

Po faced but laid back

Expressionless and curious

 

The gregarious, outrageous 

Unreserved but shy

Intriguing and mysterious

Easy on the eye

 

Bubbly and extravagant

Conscientious but neurotic 

The Introverted, extroverted

Intelligent or psychotic

 

Some open yet deceitful 

Cheerful but morose

With warmness and kindness

They’re personal and up close

 

The suspicious, cold and icy

Hot blooded and obsessed

The experienced and organised

Anxious or depressed

 

Unstable and destructive

Thick skinned but vulnerable

Spontaneous or perceptive

Resistant and unreasonable

 

Innumerable characteristics 

Lots of quirks and traits

Moods, feelings, personas

Too many to contemplate

Dear Rick,

The way you juxtapose contrasting traits and moods within a single persona paints a vivid picture of the internal conflicts and contradictions we all carry. The repetition of “innumerable characteristics” emphasises just how multifaceted we are, reminding us that identity is never simple or static. It’s a powerful reflection on the fluid, unpredictable nature of who we are.
Great job!
Regards,
Rolph
