This is really well crafted! each stanza holds the superb rise and fall unique to structured verse. The rhythm of this piece carried me through with ease. The tale itself is also a notable element. Well done and well written

I think your poem really resonates with what some would call the
hero's journey. Something dies, something is sacrificed, in order
for the hero or humanity to reach a higher level of awareness. I
found your poem very appealing and thank you for sharing this.

Multiple personalities and guessing the real you lies somewhere in-between maybe SG? A well-deserved Spotlight and strong message, "to thine own self be true..." - cheers!

Dramatic piece! That great ending made me take another look at my own "multiple personalities" :0)
