A Polarized Soul
to love and loathe at the same time
is the nature of this glinting soul
admiring the world with thoughts of crime
in the life it can never control
to hate and like the ways of the crowd
to leave with nothing yet leaving proud
this soul lives in a world so polarized and cruel
but still stands off like one glinting jewel
to exist but never get to live at all
to give all love and always get the fall
this polarized soul lives so fragile yet bold
with its youngest dreams in a city so old
