MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES (Poetry)

I'm a writer of words,

a bearer of lores

I'm a messenger come

to deliver the called

I'm a singer of songs,

a preacher of love

I'm a lover for sure

believer in the word

am a soldier at war,

a fighter for a cause

I'm a righter of wrongs

defender of the just

am an angel to some

but a minion to more

I've got foes in every turn

for the battles I fought

I'm a teacher of laws,

a guide to the young

like a father to a son

I may lead, but am lost

I'm a suitor who's hurt

I am greying in my trust

yet she returns 'n' I fall

I'm a heart with no remorse

am a winner by blood

so I lose by my choice

I may rise, I may fall

just as constant as the sun

I'm an alchemist of sorts

I make gold from my thoughts

from a feeling in my gut,

I arise and change the world

I'm a man and yet a boy

am a joker but too a pawn

may seem weak yet am strong

like a river in a pond

I'm a bringer of wrath

to the path of the cursed

yet a blessing from the gods

I'm the carrot and the rod

am on both sides of the coin

I'm a twister, I'm a rock

call me crazy if you want

'cos am not sure that am not.
