What Mind Is Mine

Two minds in a single body.

One is humane, calm, intellectual.
It fights to keep control.

The other is a beast, savage, destructive.
It fights to gain control.

This is a fight that does not, cannot seem to end.
A fight where winning is losing and losing is losing.

If the humanoid mind wins,
It will mean tortures hours of eternal pain.
The constant knowledge of where my family is,
But having no way of being with them.

If the animal mind wins,
It will kill me,
Get me killed,
Kill those around me.

I don't know what was done to cause this.
I don't know what can be done to undo this.

For now,
Hold my enemies away from me
And my friends…even further.


A/N: Leatherhead was kind of hard to think up, but eventually I got it the way that I wanted it. In the last verse I was writing the opposite of 'Hold yourfriends close and your enemies evencloser', I figured it would fit in with this poem.
