Split Personality

By Preethish Janardhanan

From silence to violence, pleased to diseased,

Well to hell and ascend to descend.

From being sober to under the weather,

God forbid I have seen it all.

Busy and creative on the left, bored and intoxicated on the right.

Respected and valued outside, poor and deported inside.

Rewards followed recognition from one end,

while guilt supervened agony from behind.

Two faces of the same coin as they say,

but gold at that if I may!
