Only One Will Win

Only one will win

Opened eyes, I have awakened
So the duel begins for the bacon
White is she and named Content
Black is he and called Resentment

Feed the dogs as you please
Just remember which has fleas
Each and everything you do
In what you do shines brightly through

Content radiates with positivity
Showing the hearts purest proclivity
Resentment oozes the negative
Binding chain to never truly live

Only one will win
The light of white to make you sing
Only one will win
The black of death to take away your grin.

I imagine that in your case Content wins most of the time. It shows in your writing.
