Arguing With A Mirror:
Ah greetings mister Chen, to what do I owe this dubious pleasure?
Don't play around with me man, you know I'm outta material...
Oh? So it would seem that our mighty street thug has finally come crashing down
Have you come to apologise for putting me aside?
Perhaps you finally realised how important I am for creativity
Say whatever you want pal, but I need some juice and I need it now!
And what makes you think I'll help you this time?
If you recall correctly Chen, was it not you who pushed me out?
As far as I remember, you said you wanted to be "real"
You said that my "expertise" was not currently needed
What can I say, I'm an inconsistent freak, ain't that why we're talkin'?
Clearly your manners could use some work, you ought to be begging me!
Well sorry Johnny English, beggin' just ain't what I do y'know
Sides, let's get down to brass tacks here, you're me! If I book it, you book it
Do you believe you have some sort of hold over me?
Let's just call it a workin' business relationship alright?
And what makes you think I will help you without you apologising first?
Maybe the fact that you're just another part of me; lil' fragment of the soul
You are a moron. Indeed we are two parts of the same whole, but let's not forget
I am the one who writes the fantasy stories; I am the part of you that is creative
You are the one who works on the public front, you are the "real" us
However, when you start putting my ideas aside I'm afraid that our deal goes sour
Oh and by the way mister Chen, you left the stove on again
I freakin' hate you...

Survive
Whispers in my ear
Compel me to surrender.
But I will not hear;
I defy my contender.
Defeat is not an option;
There is no other way:
Survive against all odds
To die another day.
'Tis the oldest battlecry;
The only ultimatum.
Fight until you die
Rather plain verbatim.
To be classified as "alive,"
Survive, survive, survive.

The Bright Side of Dyslexia
I was born with auditory dyslexia.
I once heard of someone who wrote, directed, and coastguard in their own movie.
I knew what the right word was, but it still got me thinking:
About the invigorating music of waves crashing against my vessel,
The challenge of serving to the best of my skills,
The pride of keeping the shores of my homeland safe.
That was how I found my career,
And it's been just as rewarding as I had hoped.
An episode of CSI mentioned literature marks on the vic's neck,
Which inspired a fulfilling side project of poetry.
In a later CSI, taunts were exchanged:
"I'm the king of the jingle here!

What's Not Being Said
I heard you sigh
but at the time
I didn't say a word;
I saw you cry
but didn't know
your voice was so unheard.
I felt you break
but truly thought
I shouldn't be around;
For my own sake
I should have fought
to keep your feelings sound.
Please, listen to what's not being said.

Author's Comment:
First of, I wanted to do something a little different and this DID NOT fit in with poetry, so it was definitely out of that category.
Anyway, how this piece came about was because someone asked me: 'Chen, what is it like inside your head'
I wanted to give him a better answer than a mad carnival and so I thought about it and decided to do a piece that relates to how I, ahem, get my inspiration sometimes.
Certainly it cannot be considered normal to debate with oneself in front of a mirror for 2 hours at a time, but at the end of the day it is what allows me to keep changing my style so to speak.
Mental compartmentalisation can have its benefits ^^

Okay, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who argues with a voice in their head. Yours seems much nicer than mine. Mine musts says stuff like "Your an idiot" and is not helpful at all. His only purpose is to stop me from getting a big head, really. Great work!
