Yin and Yang

The yin and yang
My side by side
Allowing me to freely glide

Through my days and
nights so dark.
Sincere words yet 
with a bark.

Bravado like no one else
but sensitive when addressed.
For words to him must be clear
so they may float and adhere.

To those he loves
and keeps locked tight
inside his heart where
its out of sight.

For fear you might
pull away or maybe
silence comes out to play.

Its black and white
no grey you see
Your decisions
make you free.

I'm built the same
from mirrored molds
Happiness is what
makes you whole.

Stay in the zone 
that makes you safe
But take a chance
forget defeat. 

Curiousity keeps 
us alive
by propelling us
to love and thrive.
