when you fall asleep
is it quiet or loud
when you wake
and the birds rise
do you hear silence
or does the noise consume you
what haunts you
what keeps you
on your toes
who are you
and do you even know
do you believe every thought
or do you swipe them away
did the trauma steal your light
or do you glow dimly and


did the darkness take over
or did you welcome it in
was the light or your darkness
the path you chose to walk in
did you know there's more
than dark and light
black and white
I didn't always believe that
yin and yang
balance
beauty
in both
there is no
all good
all bad
there,
just.
is.
