Steadily pushing to prove

Ink, spreading through my soul, my life, as I scribble endlessly:

Don't tell me this is normal, having two
Opposite sides of myself.
Never understanding how I can believe
Two opposing things at the same time.

Kindness always, but I long to be cruel. Love, but sometimes I
Need to hate, to feel the fire burning in my soul. The
Origin of this duality remains unknown, regardless of
What intense measures I have taken to try to understand myself.

Why am I so split? Why do I feel like I
Have to mask constantly to hide my dark side, to pretend like I'm
Only strange, not truly crazy.

I wonder sometimes what's wrong with me.

Am I falling deeper and deeper into
Madness every day?

Ask anyone: I'm "too nice". I'm sweet and enthusiastic and
Naive. But that is only one part of me. Nobody knows that every
Year I am forced to question if I am truly as good as the
Mask I put on. Yes, I am good. But I am also evil. My mind is an
Ocean, both life and death all at once. Am I just overthinking? Will I
Regret all of this worry, or regret that I didn't
Enlighten myself to the wonders and horrors of my mind sooner?

Yes, life may be cruel.
On some days, you might falter,
Under shadows of doubt, thinking
About letting it all slip away. But
Remember the strength within, and
Every joy that makes life whole, cause
Living is the greatest pride,
One that shines so bright. So, smile
Very wide, embrace your days, and
Enjoy each moment you hold dear.

Woke up inward bound
Angelic creatures above
Near enough to kiss
Door to the unknown
Energies of enigma
Revolve in mind wind

Working with the self
Organic evolution
Natural reflex
Defensive posture
Engage de-escalation
Reality check

Walking down the road
Actively minding business
Your shoes are not mine

Drowsy afternoon
Rainbow rolls across meadow
Ancient vision springs
Gaining altitude
Oneness whispers to all things
Now in me find peace

Drift on fragrant breeze
Roses and lavender bloom
Encouraged by rain
Active wild blossoms
Matter unfolds energy
Space and time unbound

Linger with pink clouds
Orange orb absorb mountains
Violet sunset
Inky night moonless
Note on refrigerator
Generates a a grin

Jesus- has got to be the foundation to get others to Heaven
Others- a lot easier when Jesus is the foundation
Yourself- to love others as yourself you have to love yourself
= JOY
