Dang! The two faces of Taraz. Now I feel a bit split, one personality that shines, and another that hides. Yup, now that I think about it, that's about right.
I love the last stanza, with the two personalities passing each other, knowing each other.
swept into the darkness by attention's broom
That is a very interesting line. I see a celebrity that outshines everyone else, even his own shadow.
And that photograph is fantastic! Is it from Croatia?
I think we are all split personality, depending on circumstances and all those moments where it could have gone another way. A minute too late, a second too early. We can't really know how we would be if we were born in very different circumstances, but we definitely wouldn't be the same as we are today.
Just imagine how much pressure is on various kinds of celebrities - yet we assume that because they get paid a lot, they should be fine with it. We see that they are not in the media all the time, but then say "they wasted their opportunity" or they "lost themselves" or something. It must be a hard life to always have to try and meet the expectations of people who will always want more.
Yes. Her first time in waves :)
