Every Light Has a Shadow Every Shadow Has a Light


Within us all theres a fight being fought between two parts who want the main spot. The good and the heart are given by light, the bad and the thoughts are shadowed in dark. The two are at battle to take all control to make the host under their control. The choice must be made to turn one away or to agree to let them both stay. If you decide to hide one away, it will only grow stronger day by day and once it reaches its limit and blows everyone will be caught in its undertow. But should you choose to keep them together you’ll have to make one goal to be better, to let them integrate and become one, to let them both see the sun. A swirl of dark with a swirl of light together they’ll be and you’ll end the fight. Now you’re complete with both sides together your good and your bad making it better, together.
