Conchas y Café - Assignment #3

Alter Ego (My Alternate Self)

Who struggles through my protective shield,


a nameless soul, flat affect, yet dependent
timeless yet unrevealed
whose lifeless motions can be concealed.
Intermittently I hear inner roars, who proceeds
to break through and become transcendent?

Admit to teen outburst emotions—the Hulk when pissed off transforms


to a dependable brilliantly intense color of red/green.
Enraged, one powerful punch deforms
entire cities with superpowers when needed, are performed
and when done, the red/green subsides and gentle submission of calmness is felt.
This one, I know you know, comes between

the natural growing bones and muscles from my mind and heart,
especially when growing up
rage kept this teenage girl apart.
Family’s love built her integrity and moral values, the best piece of art
Friends’ not so…reason for this one to hang around longer.
You know me best, my thoughts and feelings when happy or corrupt.
