Bittersweet Balance

this is one of my older poems.

Where is the line between love and obsession?

How quickly can manic euphoria turn into a suicidal depression?

When we laugh, how close are we to crying?

how many times can you fail, before you quit crying?

Every time you fall down, there will be a hand waiting to help you to your feet

And for all of your victories, there will be an equal amount of defeat.

Hate and love run along the same line,

Where you find the dark and macabre,

you'll also find optimistic shine.

Every yang is balanced by a yin,

and even the most righteous of saints has their deadly sin.

life is nothing more than a balancing act of bad and good.

try to embrace both sides, as everyone should.

Very good write. This nature of duality I often write about in my own poems. Quite a refreshing read.
