The two halves of me

Original Submission by Simrin Omaram

They are two halves of me

They are the parents i never had

They are the brother and sister i never grew apart from

They are the mom and dad that didn't leave me with the heavy weight on my shoulders to bare the weight of the world and responsibilities of the eldest sister and daughter alone

They are they two best friends who stood by me side by side giving me endless support and reality checks

They are two halves of the world that come together to make my world complete

They are two halves of me that make me whole

They are my scales that balance me out when I feel like my life isn't balanced

They are my two halves of me
