” The Weight of the World ”
i walk on thin lines
between the shades of black and white
like my old favorite classic film

i balance myself on the edge
between the faces of good and evil
i imagine the masks of Tragedy and Comedy
as i wear them upon my stage of my reality

i sit in my little corner
between the shadows of my darkness and my light
gazing upon my mirror of uncertain fate.

i hear screams of my past;
“you don’t belong in the darkness,
you live by your light. Therefore,
get out of my shade, and burn!”.

i spin my wheel of misfortune,
between the medium of the yin & the yang,
like a balancing scale ….
…. weighing the world.

i play with the toxic substance
mainline to my feelings of love and hatred,
mixing the chemistry causing a nuclear destruction
…in my soul…

i question religion with my beliefs,
between the matters of God and Satan…
more questions….
….no answers.

i now realize, if there is no light,
you can’t survive the darkness.
