In the eye of the beholder

Top: Beauty and the Beast
Bottom: Ulysses and the Sirens
Contradictions - Jordan Malik

Our eyes show us what is in front of us
But they don’t show us what is there
The sun gives us our light
Yet it brings with it the shadows
Our hearts are meant to love
But hate lingers here
Opposites with the same home
You cannot hate without having loved
Yes, this world
It is a beating, living heart
Filled with love, Full of hate
It is broken and scarred
Yet it is fresh and beautiful
Hate cannot take over this heart
But love cannot win
Life in itself is just one contradiction after the next
