I've denied parts of me
thought I should be only pure
Locked away whats dark in me
Split myself at the core
One will be blinded walking only in the sun
And one will be lost when only in the darkness of night
But most powerful is one
who chooses to live in the twilight
Neither light nor dark
Neither good nor evil
Neither clean nor marked
Neither secret nor see through
Innocently seductive
Sweetly demented
Creatively destructive
genuinely pretended
Be alive and dead
be kind and sadistic
Be sane and fucked in the head
Be paranormal and realistic
One needs pain to have pleasure
Needs a soul to be heartless
Light one could never understand nor measure
if they deny the darkness.

What is love without lust?
What is humbleness without pride?
Should one be a slave when they trust?
Should they deny all thats inside?
You can't be all good
You can't be all pure
But send death just cause you could
Then what the fuck are you living for?
No one's perfect, No one's all flaws
No one's all holy, No one's all sin
Who says a person can't defend with demon claws
while they lift loved ones with angel wings?
If you walk alone in the abyss
The shadows won't let you survive
But if you walk in the sunshine's blinding mist
The light's flames will burn you alive.
All this time I've tried to change and deny parts of myself that were "unpure" because I wanted to be "a good person." I lost who I am, split myself in parts and locked whatever the "good" part thought was "evil" away.  But I have strength and power in my darkness as much as I have humbleness and gentleness in my light. I should not deny neither, accept and join the two.  A person can't be all good, all light, and all holy. And who says having darkness is evil and sinful anyway? Balance, my friends, balance.
