A poem a day, a poem a day
Your poems aren’t that great, they say
A poem a day, a poem a day
Keeps the monsters at bay
So I guess I’ll write them down anyway

I write about the darkness
I don’t write enough about the light
The light will always shine  
The sun pulls through
All you have to do is look up
See the sky
Whether its day or night
The darkness is there
Fragments from the past
Trying to leave it behind
The dark and the light
They will always intertwine  
Finding balance
Keeping them in battle
Trying to find the light
Seeing sun beams seep through
I dance between the two

Words disappear
Letters blend together
Lost in the past
Please don’t let this last forever

Do not fear the shifting sand

under the weight of your feet.

For you may not know balance,

without the test of instability.
