I am the sun, but I am also the moon, I am the ruler of this broken kingdom where there are ever lurking shadows taunting “you will always be this way” Two halves in a marriage of contradiction, yet there is not one without the other, and wouldn’t a true unity be sweeter than two sides at constant war Twisting tides in the pit of my stomach, ebbing and flowing until time stands still and I become immensely aware of this conflict waiting to spill out as i’m torn apart You’ll do no better than to hibernate from the cold winds of the harshest winters, and perhaps I could build the strongest fortress but what good would that do in the end At the end of the day they are both who I am, and all I can do is let the two live in harmony. So I shall balance both weights on my shoulders and learn to cherish them for what they are
