Author's Note: This is just a little poem that's been bouncing around in my head for awhile. Some of the lines might be a little odd because I was trying to make them rhyme!

When can I be truly free?

If there are two inside of me

Though I search, I cannot find

A balance between heart and mind

Fighting for control of me

These two selves can never be

Coexisting without pain

A constant battle in my brain

Because of what my father did

Of me they wanted to be rid

Afraid of what they had created

They saw their greed demonstrated

Shunned and hated by my tribe

On my heart they did inscribe

The loathing that came with my name

And a monster I became

The beast that's lurking way down deep

Will never slumber; never sleep

In claws of steel my mind was held

I felt my fate was surely spelled

I didn't know which way to turn

My very life was only spurned

By the one I thought that I could trust

My heart was left alone to rust

My sister's smart, my brother's brave

But what they have that I most crave

Is the love that's burning deep within

Which overcomes the greatest sin

I do not understand this thing

Or the joy it to the soul does bring

But maybe someday I can fulfill

This longing that's within me still

I lived only to destroy

My selfish greed my only joy

But now I see this was a lie

Living for me, my soul will die

My true purpose I must find

Now that my eyes are no longer blind

I vow to reach beyond the pain

Like a desert in the rain

Author's Note: It's not the best poem I've ever written, but there are some parts of it I like. Please review if you read it! Also, I kept trying to fix the spacing, but it still might be weird. I'm not sure what to do about that.
