Duality

Am I drowning in the dark?

By Tash HawkinsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

First half vibrant

A swelling sea of support

Great enough, strong enough

You're doing it right

You're on the right path

I love you, freedom.

Second half dark

A swampy abyss, infinite depths

One mistake, and all is at loss

Once contained, now an explosion

A never-ending sonic boom

I hate you, powerless.

Will someone tell me

How to tame the beast

The stark dichotomy of light and dark

Slowly drinks my spirit away

Whatever shall I do

When it comes back for another sip?
