I struggle with being both a human

and an artist.  The human in me

wants love, romance, someone to die for,

truly sacrifice my own life if need be.

The artist wants fire, passion,

haunting beauty, darkness, rebellion,

chaos, grit, tough love, sex, whiskey.

I am desperately searching for a way

to blend the two, to marry them together

in such a way where one never outweighs

the other, though I find it to be

such a tall task.

It often gets difficult living

in your own skin.

I am such a contradiction.

I wonder sometimes,

do others feel this way, too?
