There is another side to me
One that you cannot see
A side that is part of the dark side of my soul
The side that wants to take risk without shame
The side that wants to run in the dark
The side that wants to dance in the rain
The side that is outside of the norm
The side that doesn’t want to conform

I very much enjoyed your poem. Your words make me want to step outside and dance in the rain, walk a few steps in the darkness, and gain the strength to take a few risks, like I did when I was young, and would run through fields of wildflowers without fear or worry of the consequences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Isn’t it glorious how poetry allows us to express ourselves while reaching out to touch the soul of others? 😊

Beautiful poem, I’ve written poems like this, confronting, tackling, letting the other side take home, even one of the other side’s parallel but opposed nature to ‘my’ own caused great confusion.
Great poem, the words speak more than could otherwise be explained!

Not sure it’s so dark NOT to want to conform in such a dark world.

If there’s anything I’ve learned in life, is that thoughts and words unexpressed, are lost forever. I am no longer afraid to express myself and bare my soul as no one is capable of hurting me more than myself. 🙂

Do as you desire to do. That isn’t a side, it is a piece of who you are. Learn it. Act on it when the dangers can be accounted for. We are whole beings. It’s easy to say “that’s just a side of me”. We can be more than a single thing at a time. Be the complete you. Sounds new age or motivational speaker, but it is true.

Pelgris, I like that I get you to talk. I can tell you don’t do it alot. I guess you relate to alot of my thoughts? If so I am glad, it is always good to have someone to relate to. I appreciate it my friend.

I will talk for hours about something in my areas of interest or with good friends, but, in general, you are correct. I’m generally the quiet one, interjecting thoughts.

Love it. Super relateable. It’s tough to keep that side down sometimes, and sometimes I wonder if we even should…
