Dual

I know deep down that I have a very dark soul

I am branded by everyone everywhere I go

Whenever people they first take a look at me

All they can seem to see is my dual personality

People always like me when I first do arrive

When I leave, they all wish that I were not alive

They do not hate me as much as I hate myself

I do not love myself; how can I love anyone else

As time goes driving by, I know that eventually

I will end up under the grass where I am meant to be

Good morning!
As usual, I always find your work defined with simple and direct language - yet powerful and complex. The title is perfect to your theme. I do hope you have taken poetry liberties here, and truly realize your many gifts. Please keep writing!
Thank you,
