Personality

Personality

She is freewheeling and fearless
Forever the smile of happiness
Brightness wherever she goes
Life is good, life is kind
The girl has peace of mind
and the beauty of a damask rose

Her sunshine brightening the day
Brushing our tears away
She jumps into the deep
With never a care
Adventure is there
When we can hardly sleep

The door is revolving
Life is ever evolving
What goes up must come down
Her identical twin
Would sometimes win
And the smile becomes a frown

Opponents they are not
Good friends is how they fought
Each escapade a memory to share
One dips only their toes
The other wins by a nose
Tempering each other’s dare

The twins are one and the same
They share the same name
It is two personalities of one
Being joyful is the preferred state
and life can trip you, but wait
The cycle has again begun

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

    1. Oh I’m so happy you felt it. We are all a combination of good or bad, happy or sad and so on. We learn how to filter I guess 🙂💕

      2. Agreed! Sometimes they have become bad habits and then it’s more difficult but not impossible 🙂👍

    1. Thank you Punam 🙂 It’s all of us really. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, up or down, brave or scared etc. 💕

    1. Thank you for your kind words. Yes, sometimes we don’t always know which “one” is acceptable 🙂🙃

  5. There are many sides of us and appreciating that side of being positive and joyful, can be a lifelong pursuit in the face of life’s challenges.

  7. Very nice use of words. As an individual person, we have our strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes we stand-out with our strengths and sometimes we hide away with our weaknesses. All-in-all were human beings! 🙂
