The Duality

I love the adrenaline of a ride,

I feel comfortable at the fireside;

I like to be the odd one out,

I follow the crowd with no doubt.

I am content and disappointed,

simple and complicated;

I am happy and heart-broken,

lazy and passion-driven.

I fear and embrace change,

I set and burn my stage;

I break shells and move on,

I hoard things and hold on;

I am angry at myself,

I empathize with myself;

I run far away from me,

I trust no one except me.

The mind is a palace

of glass and mirror,

of peace and chaos,

of unknown unknowns.
