Split in two
Pulled apart
Good and Bad
Light and Dark
It takes one
To make the other
As one is child
And one is mother
But which comes first
Tells the tale
Of which will win
And which will fail
Why choose just one
Of the two?
Why deny the whole
The entire you?
Why shroud one
While the other is free?
Why deny yourself
Such sweet duality?

Love it!! Be your whole self. Growing older is inevitable.. But growing up completely is optional.

You should claim that quote…that’s brilliant! It’s funny to me how many years I spent trying to pigeonhole myself into a certain category…only to find that it’s okay to be all of those things. Coins have two sides…people are multifaceted!
Thanks for your comments!

I can’t take credit for that quote.. I just complicated a simple quote I read somewhere (probably Facebook) “growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional”.. But thanks for thinking I am smart enough to have such novel wisdom.. Boy have I got you fooled.

A good representation on duality. I think we all have a bit of that going on in our lives. Some just more than others.
