I was a man of one personality, I fought crime without wearing a suit. I remember being tied up, gasoline barrels all around me, rigged to explode. I heard the love of my life, crying for her life blocks away. I saw the floor, gasoline covered half of my face. I worried for my girlfriend, and what would be her fate...even though she had already told me her situation. I saw a grave, with my name on it, I was going to die. But I changed. I am a Two Faced criminal, wearing a half burnt suit, the fate of my victims is simple....50/50. I think the world is not about what's right, it's about what's fair. I need to judge the world, some must be killed, and some will be spared. I try to judge them all, but alas, I can't. I feel anger, for what happened all those years ago, in the building, the explosion, the accident. I forgive that damn clown, who made me who. The Joker. Now I can change. I will kill the Batman, even if I kill myself in the process. I choose to be myself, to give them a chance. The chance I had...50/50. I dream of the day, when I pull the trigger when my barrel is pointed at the Batman. I hope that I will finish off all that stand in my way. I predict myself, head villain of Gotham, I control the streets. I know I will be who I am today, the Two Faced man who changed his ways after the accident all those years ago. I will change. I am Two Face.

Visual Poem
“No one was ever named ‘Hero’ for following the crowd, Heroes set their own course”
-Jonathan L. Huie
Your life is like a hero, strong and unafraid
Like Batman beating up crooks
Like Spider Man swinging through New York City
A man willing to take the heat for something evil
Just like Jesus died on the cross for us
You sacrifice your life for those you love
Maybe not how he did
But you get my meaning
You didn’t follow the others
You set your own goal, set your own course
And now you save lives, one at a time.
Beating up crime, two dozen at a time.
You're like that, like a hero

Free Write Poem- Constriction
Your over-protection irritates me to no end
Peeping over everything that I do
Jumping to conclusions all the time
It's constricting for me
I'm not a little kid anymore
I'm a young adult
I have common sense, I'm not a pothead
And I would never be
But if I do rebel
It's your fault
I'm tired of your fifty million rules
Tired of everything that I do being in secret
If only you could look back
And remember the times when you were me
Young and rebellious
Stop with the rules
Let me go
I'm not a little kid anymore
Don't put any other constrictions on me
You may not be happy that you did.

Why don't you care about what I wan't? It irritates me to no end, the amount of protection that you put on me. You don't trust me whatsoever, and you don't let me make my own decisions, and when I do make them myself, you get mad and ground me. I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm a young adult now, you can trust me not to make any decisions that will mess up my life, I walk with God, and I don't do stupid things. I'm better than all of the people who do drugs. I know you want me to be safe, but the fact is...I can take care of myself, I don't need you looking over my shoulder all of the time. I might be defiant and rebellious sometimes, but it's YOUR FAULT. With the amount of constriction that you put on me, I take every chance that I can to be free from that. Wouldn't you? You were my age once, and I guarantee you that even if you don't want to admit it, you did the same thing when you were my age. You can't contain me, I am me, and nothing can change that, even if you want me to be what you want me to be.
If you tell me not to date.
I will.
If you restrict my media time..
I'll make sure to go over it.
It's your fault that I'm rebellious, your constriction forces it.
I hope you realize that before you do anything to restrict me more..
You may not be happy that you did.
How long until you realize it..
Until you realize that I don't wanna follow your rules
I hope it's soon
