Double Trouble

Joyce Cobra II 1978 (New London)

Free verse
Double my pain
Trouble you gain
No matter which side
I'm Ying or Yang

Double your actions
Trouble doubled reaction
Falsifying feelings
Are never appealing

Double my knowledge
Trouble your beliefs
Double my power
Trouble doubled defeat

Double my growth
Trouble your water
Double my wealth
By flipping your quarter

Double my trouble
Double my fun
Double my victory
You're troubled I won

About this poem

This poem represents my unusually difficult challenges that I have had to learn over time how to adjust and fight harder than most, but I always achieve my goals.
