"Two souls within me, intertwined yet apart,
One, a poet, yearning for solitude's gentle art,
The other, a persona, craving connection's warm light,
A dichotomy of desires, day and endless night.

The inner poet whispers secrets, urging me to write,
While the outer self seeks validation, a fleeting delight,
A tug of war between two worlds, where I reside,
A poet's heart, torn between solitude and the world outside."
