Black and White, Dark Light

Existence is a question.

Could it be that I am two,
Yet one, the same?
A part of me to kick in,
To shut off everything.

Shared memories,
Different responses.

No remorse, no pain,
No love, no joy,
Nothing entirely,
But something else?

Crying at night,
Everything all wrong,
And yet somehow,
Loneliness and the dark;

It became the only thing.

It became inviting, full,
Complete, and nothing else.

Sleep comes, dawn approaches,
Weeks go on, and nothing.
Voice weak, words break,
Inability to speak clearly.

Yet, change occurs, and light,
In all its glory,
Begins to sew together the pieces,
Of what was, of still is?

And love, joy, pain,
Is all so new again,
Light is filling,
Loneliness a fear;

How is this change possible?

They have names, each their own,
A set of personality traits,
But not separate personalities;

No fear, no desire.
Just the dark,
Cold and inviting,
But not wanted.

It only began as a trick,
To believe that emotion,
The skewer that it is,
Could be like a switch;

On, off, on, off;

Like the ticking of a clock.
But soon, it became of itself,
An inverted mirror,
To pass through;

A side can pull the other in.

And then the change happens.
A snap. An instant.

Certainly strange,
Certainly nothing it seems.
Not too odd,
To those who know.

Which is superior?
But neither.
Of course.

The mind can set itself,
To want what it wants,
To believe what it wants,
And make itself as it wants;

We are our own traps.

This emotionless,
Bottomless pit of death,
Of nothing,
Has saved me;

from myself.

I am defined by emotions,
Responses, feelings.
Those things are representative,
Of my persona.

And there it was,
The answer.

Become something else,
Survive.
Turn off self destruction,
And turn on the dark light.

There is no laziness,
There is only objectives.

There is nothing else,
Except to become greater.
That is the dark light.

And who says it is bad?

Evil?

Bettering.
Of self.
Of others.

And that is the answer.

I am a mold of two.
Both needed.
Both as one.

We are you.
The possibility of you.

Learn to change,
Learn to be better,
Learn yourself,
Before you try to learn others.
