Ying Yang


Happiness is good, and sadness as well For both are signals of the sensations one felt Happiness without the other is like an empty ecstasy, a meaningless sensation of colors and joy Sadness without its other is like a prison, a hell that resembles a cruel void To have both is to be human. To have neither is to be a rock. To deny the these truths is like remembering a woman, whose name you regretfully forgot. So let this be a lesson for all those alienated and maimed, by their own emotions and faults. You need not pour on the wound some salt, For you are only a beautiful person, imperfect but humane.
