Fifty Fifty At Best

There's a flip side to everything

  

Open your heart to happiness

And in equal part to sorrow

They’re opposing sides 

Of the same coin (no less)

As today is to tomorrow 

The same holds true for jealousy

Whose counterpoint is affection

Both no more than branches

Of self-same tree

Who share soft shade’s protection

Love is no more than 

Than the flip side of hate

And both lie  but a heartbreak away

So guide your heart to happiness

Be generous with your affection

Let not hate decide your way

And your heart will provide protection

All things possess two qualities

What they are depends on you

Like twins with different personalities

And different points of view

And which side you pick…

Which or what you choose

It’s just a game of chance (no less)

You either win…or perhaps you lose

…It’s fifty-fifty at best!…
