Gemini

A-side. Flip-side.

East. West.

Port side. Starboard.

Heads. Tails.

Why can't I just

be either-or

instead of and-both?

It's hard always being the 
brave heroine who saves the day;

when there are days, all I want to be

is the princess who needs the saving.

How do you make a compromise

between this overbearing adult

and the rebel kid whom it

shares the same shell with?

Why can't I remain as this dreamer,

who falls asleep at night

with heart full of hopes and dreams;

instead of waking up as this realist,

who questions every good thing

that blows her way.

I feel like a tossed coin

that never got the chance to land; 

and now I'm just endlessly, aimlessly

flipping around up in the air,

never knowing which side 

should I ever become.
