Katie Tiller Poet Ballad

You Are the Good: I Am the Evil

You are the light of a day,
I am the darkest of grays.
You are the significant Sun,
I am the forgotten Moon.

You are the sweet make-believe dreams,
I am the tragic nightmares.
You are a glorious angel,
I am a dreary demon.

You are the bright rainbow,
I am the dull rain.
You are the boat that floats,
I am the anchor that sinks.

You are the peaceful Valley,
I am the destructive war.
You are the tame beauty,
I am the wild beast.

You are the precious living,
I am the shallow dead.
You are the glistening stars,
I am the darkening night.

You are the wonderful strength,
I am the terrible weakness.
You are the beautiful heavens,
I am the unpleasant hells.

Chris Tian October 25, 2014 at 11:20 PM Very sad to have these feelings. Yet feelings we have all shared at one time or another. I really like this poem. Especially because I believe in the total depravity of man, and am faced with the fact that I fall short of the glory of God.
