Confession of a troubled man (Free verse) by Hostileintent
This man I know frightful weird, Covers his face with a dark coarse beard, Spends no money on whiskey or beer, But prefers to cherish what he holds dear. This man I know is actually two, The one you see, and the one I do, They roam all day on the prowl, The face of one, for the other-a cowl, This man I know, is in fact me, In this body we are three, Unlike the Lord we’re not pure, Alters ego, persons ality, the third unsure. But I'm scared of it, I’m scared of it all, People think I’m prepared for the fall, If only they knew, if they knew inside, How close its come,suicide.

Up the ladder: Thoughts for Later (v3)
Down the ladder: and love, an envy

The Ultimate Personality Test

Jeremi, you're a Lethal Weapon!

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Lethal Weapon which means you are a Seeker / Thinker. Your primary sub-type is defined by "Seeker" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Thinker" characteristics.

That means you're open-minded, enthusiastic, and popular. Chances are you might even break the rules sometimes. You're motivated and serious, and you always jump at the chance to take on a new project. Innovation and abstract thinking are your strengths.

How do we know all this? How do we know you get cabin fever if you're cooped up too long? Or that sometimes you'd rather just work on an independent project so you can concentrate without having to deal with people? How could we have divined that you secretly question your self-worth?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Lethal Weapon.

And that's just scratching the surface.
