7. OPPOSITES FROM WITHIN
I
This embodiment of choice
Symbol of the eternal ambivalence
Divided & composed by life's oppositions
As if trapped from the inside by two contrasting faces
A symbiosis thriving in a same mortal coil
Shrouded in the everlasting mist of doubt
My indecision is fed by a fundamental duality
A blend of phases growing in a mind
A total mess
Two connected halves
Condemned to contend
In a same anguished consciousness
An infinite struggle within my body
Thought and instinct intertwined in an endless spiral
A dark clarity
A clear darkening merged
As one but torn in the eternal choice
A strange combination of incompatible feelings
Forming my entity
Quartered between the good, the bad, the truth, the false,
My body and my soul
It's me versus myself
This is a perpetual balance between thought and instinct
As if possessed by two inseperable inner demons
Myself cleft in two by an internal antagonism
My two inner demons
The two faces of my being
When the self collide
The primitive side against the cerebral side
Quartered between reason and unreason
Will I survive ?
Putting my mind in shreds
This state of being will accompagny me eternally
Until the death
I'm divided by my opposites from within
