Pair of Opposites

Black is seen

When white is near

Dark is darker

When lights cheer

Opposites make best couple

I think, I believe.

I am keen,

To see the dark

To feel the fear

'Cause dark helps me

To know the light

Fear lets me have

The will to fight.

This hopelessness

Of today, fills me

With the desire

To be hopeful.

This pair of opposites,

Optimism and pessimism,

Are not easy to be separated.

It's on me

Who between the two

I choose as the sailor

Of my life's ship

And let the other partner

Push us harder,

To live more

To stay stronger.
