I teeter on the edge
Of the narrow plank I walk on
I try to stay upright
Digesting every pro and con

I left a tight community
To travel and explore
To find new things
To someday reach the core

I have no destination
In this wandering mind of mine
No support on either edge
As I tread this fine line

On one unknown side
The world drops into darkness
Nothing for miles and miles
I know I can't trust this

On the other, however
Feathery clouds glide
Springy white trampolines
I believe I can trust this side

One speaks of evil
Of uncertainty, of fear
The other songs sweetly
Of light-heartedness and cheer

Yet, they are the same
Both just covers
Hiding what's beneath
For me to discover

My curiosity dominates
My mind draws a blank
I fall through the middle
As I break the plank

I am wedged
In between two worlds
Both revealing themselves
Making my blood curl

They aren't at all
What they seemed to be
They are the opposite
Of what they appeared to me

Under the clouds
Hides a system of lies
Of traitors and masquerades
A pitiful disguise

And concealed by gloom
Is a realm of affection
People bound by loss
But who need no perfection

The good hid the bad
And the bad hid the good
I doubt out more about the world
Than I ever thought I would

Impressions and appearances
They cannot be believed
We need to go to the depths
Until then, they can be percieved

But without either
The work would be naught
They coexist and synchronise
Each has its spot

So accept both
We surely have to
This is the world
Where each of us grew

I land with a thump
In the arms of two
One of each kind
And I bid adieu.
