A soul both dark and light
A spirit both fighter and lover
A heart both strong and gentle
I speak for injustice
I fight for the bullied
Yet I tremble with fear
To the darkest of human spear
I was told I had to define myself
I'm either this or that
It doesn't feel quite right
To choose one but not the other
For I am both
So I abandon and take flight
Finding my own heavenly shelter
Protecting my innocent light

A soul both dark and light
A spirit both fighter and lover
A heart both strong and gentle
I speak for injustice
I fight for the bullied
Yet I tremble with fear
To the darkest of human spear
I was told I had to define myself
I'm either this or that
It doesn't feel quite right
To choose one but not the other
For I am both
So I abandon and take flight
Finding my own heavenly shelter
Protecting my innocent light
A poetry of me struggling to keep my light and at the same time using darkness to defend myself.
