tandem existence

contemplation

without the contrast, i wouldn't even know i was alive

how could joy be without sadness

how could death be without life

we surround ourselves with happiness to only long for the loneliness

awake and alive or asleep and dead

what tandem ingredients to this existence

how the smiles hide the pain

the rough exterior holds in the delicate

don't let my eyes blind me from my purpose

i am here to defy you
