I am a combination of two worlds
Both are as old as time
One no less than the other
And although one prevail
The other never fell
Surviving despite hardships is winning
In staying, they made me
I am the combination of war and its ramifications
I am the crumbs they left behind
After they ate everything and more of what we had
Yet I can not deny that I am also part of them
Half of me comes from their sins
The other is from the resistance of those without hope
Nature took its course
And all that is left for me to do is pray
I pray that I descend of love and not rape
That my legacy is something more than pain
That I am not a curse thrust upon this world
That those before me were loved and cared for
That I was not a chain of subjugation that lingered through centuries
But a ray of hope
That in the end, everything was worth it all
Thinking otherwise drives me crazy
I despair
I rage
I cry in vain
I am the victim and the perpetrator
Stuck between the cruelty and kindness of others
I cannot deny anyone sins, for they all belong to me
Half of me is the receiver
While the other half is the giver
In the end, what does that make me?
I inherit everyone's mistakes
Alongside a mountain of bones and flesh
Rivers of tears and the blood that was shed
The glass is filled until it spills
And my soul cries for all the hurt my other half has caused
Yet my other half does not regret what it has done
After all, it is the reason I exist
So how can I coexist?
When I am two opposites crashing against each other
Biting and clawing
Demanding retributions
Demanding executions
Revolutions and persecutions
Evolution is all I want
To grow into happiness
Serenity and calmness
For, in the end, I am a human being
There is no difference between the halves of me
For we feel the same feelings,
We think the same way
We share the same interest
We are no different from the rest
For we share everything
We may be from two very different worlds
But we make one
One human being
