There Is Beauty In The Duality

 



In the middle of the endless night I sit forgotten,

Never imagined my life as a wreck,

Never imagined to feel like I am a failure.

And yet here I am, doubting everything I am,

Question myself if I am still me.

Deconstructing my beliefs, my thoughts, my taste,

My likes and dislikes as if I am a puzzle,

I start anew building up myself with better walls this time.

After every fall is harder to be close to what I used to know.

I am getting better as a builder – these walls are pure perfection.

It all fell down – the innocence is long gone, the eyes are sparking with the devil’s flame.

The reflection in the mirror looks like me but she is no more.

She is no longer like the sun shining bright for all those who are close to me.

She is more like the moon – shines enough to show the way and yet nothing is fully revealed.

She is no longer peaceful like the small river, trying to find her way to the sea.

She is a full blown sea storm ready to sink the ship regardless the cost.

She is no longer the soft wind which caresses someone’s cheek.

She is a tornado ready to crumble every house on her way.

She is no longer happy or angry, she is no longer mad or disappointed.

She no longer feels, she doesn’t care who walks out of her life – she is self-sufficient.

She can easily cut you out just because she pleases if your presence is not a contribution to her life.

She is She-Wolf – walking thorny paths alone;

She is She-Demon – torturing them with her silence; never gives explanation.

She is me – sometimes I feel her distant; sometimes she is next to me.

Loneliness doesn’t bother me, I can remain silent forever.

The reflection in the mirror shows my face but my soul is not the same.

Sometimes I miss her, the child I was, the hope I had, the dreams I dreamt.

But now I am different, my old desires are gone.

Cold hearted, calculating, emotionless and even cruel,

I can safely use them to describe me – I can finally adopt the words said about me.

This time is not the mark of disgrace they try to enforce on me.

These are medals of honor for the battles I have survived.

Sometimes the only way to battle all your demons is to embrace them

And make the Hell you are going through your comfortable home.

She is me and I am her – Ying and Yang of one’s soul.

Gentle or cruel – it’s you who picks the side you meet!
