On Being Two

Perhaps it will always be like this
This feeling of being divided
Two minds
Love for the precious amazing gifts I have
The need to hold tightly to that
And the compulsion
The voice that won't stop
It says you are more than your everyday
Please don't give up
The familiar internal  conversation
Having both
Being both
Holding tight and yet following your dreams
I know now
That this intense internal battle
Teaches me
The discomfort
Motivates me
Look, Seek, Move, Change
While holding those you love so close
I'll be myself
Each day
I'll love them with all I have
And we'll follow our dreams
Grow
Be
