one says defeat makes a person
struggles, suffering and loss
finding your way out of the depths
and searching for others to cross
i sat there screaming in silence
wondering about the lucky and the ill fated
how can it be more than violence
one side of the seesaw down weighted
i look up to the stars
the stars look down on me
and the bits & pieces i lost
and unlit versions no one wants to see
sleepwalking on top of the delight
it took numerous scars to open my eyes
i saw eternal brightness in the inky night
and slowly acceptance in the sunrise
one says defeat makes a person
struggles, suffering and loss
i can only show you it's truth
with the black & white bridges it built me to cross
nothing in the universe is one
there are two sides to a door
never just light or dark
you have one the other is what you'll look for
again, i look up to the stars
and the stars look back at me
they light up the shaded earth
and teach me about beauty there is left to see
