Contrasts
Internal
That is where the answers lie
External
Is where the quick fixes belie
Within
The truth lies there despite deceptive tries
Without
Fabricated reliefs only create alibis
Trust
Our inner being not easily given access
Fear
That primal animal from broken trust we often caress
Love
The power to conquer all is available from within
Hate
Poisons your views and love, do not let it begin
Happy
A mood is one of the few things you really can control
Sad
If you let the world get you down it can start to roll
Strong
It comes from within to try when it is hard and tough
Weak
So many choose the easy path and quit when it’s rough
Faith
Belief in yourself and the way you lead your life
Despair
Belief the world is unfair and everywhere is strife
