You've only seen the one side of me
The side that I've decided to show
But there's another side that you don't see
And I think it's time that you should know

I can be a jerk sometimes, a real S.O.B.
I can say things out of anger that I don't mean
Bet you never thought that this is what you'd see
Take it as a lesson, that sometimes people aren't what they seem

This other side of me, I try not to show a lot anymore
I'm getting better at controlling it each and everyday
I don't want it to break through the door
And there's one more thing I have to say

Everyone has that other side, no one is immune
The darker side that they try to keep from their friends
Those things that they keep hidden from view
I've decided to show you now, rather than at the end

Yes my friend we all have that wanting to pound the door to bits thing inside us.
We have a deep passion that spurs us to highest, but the same passion out of control
can be very detrimental to one's health. haha

well i understand all to well the words you speak the darkness in me i trap deep down deep all pretty words and pretty song will hold it down only so long i hope to all i see the darkness will never be the one to consume me

  Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

All to often we see the "other side" much too late.  I on the other hand have only one side,,,, yeah right!  Good Job Sven

Bad day hon?  I understand...
We all have a beast to control, no condemning yourself ok?

I show this side all too often. But we do all have one. At the most we can admit it!

Sven,
You are right, everyone has this side.  It is what we choose to do with it.....that is what really matters.  I am sure you can control it in time.  Interesting poem...

Sven, we all have different sides.  Some of us have developed more in order to adapt to the environment in which we are in.  But true feelings will bypass it.
