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.

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.
