Within a man
A soul resides
Where light and dark
In conflict bides
A person split
both night and day
In silent war
A constant frayOne side adorned
In gleaming light
A beacon strong
A radiant sight
Kindness blooms
A gentle guide
With warmth that never
Seeks to hideYet veiled behind
That shining mask
A shadow dwells
In midnights casque
The darker side
One quiet adept
In hidden chambers
With secrets keptIt bears the weight
Of sorrows deep
Where fears and doubts
Begin to creep
A labyrinth
Of tangled thought
In darkness, where
Its battles foughtTwo sides within
One beating heart
Each playing out
A different part
Yet in this dance
Of light and shade
A human story
Is deeply laid
