Personal Identity

Dual Jest:

Alter ego, with mask so bright,
In the shadows, pure delight.
From secret selves to hidden sides,
Alter ego, where it hides.
In every tale, a story spun,
Alter ego, under the sun.
With every switch, a joy we see,
Alter ego, wild and free.
In every moment, a heart does cheer,
Alter ego, always near.
With every change, a story told,
Alter ego, brave and bold.

02

Personal Identity

Hidden Jest:

Alter ego, with secrets deep,
In its layers, tales we keep.
From public face to private heart,
Alter ego, plays its part.
With every shift, a joy we find,
Alter ego, gentle and kind.
In every life, a tale we see,
Alter ego, wild and free.

Personal Identity

Shadow Self:

In the mirror's deep embrace,
Alter ego shows its face.
A hidden self, a second mind,
Alter ego, hard to find.
In shadows deep, it lies in wait,
Alter ego, life's twist of fate.
Different paths, different dreams,
Alter ego, life redeems.
A side of self, both bold and shy,
Alter ego, reasons why.
In every choice, in every guise,
Alter ego's wisdom lies.
Embrace the self, both dark and light,
Alter ego, a guiding sight.
A dual nature, strong and true,
Alter ego, me and you.
