Napowrimo Day 10 Poem: Dichotomy

Prompt: an un-love poem

April 10/13

Dichotomy

Two sides of the same coin,
So different
But integral to one another.
The sun creates shade.

Dazzling light laughs and plays,
Tickles any fancy,
Dances through the day,
Relaxes and kicks back.
Reflects beauty.
Everything is fun,
Kick-butt amazing.
Loveable.

Dark shadow protects what's inside,
A guitar string wound tight,
Snaps when plucked.
Concealing, disguising
Repulsive fear,
Paralyzing anxiety
With a pretty shell.
Un-loveable.

Hard to love when the shell breaks,
Shadow creeps through the cracks
Dims the light.
