Contrasting Contraries

Its beauty is horrifying

Its ugliness is entrancing

I confidently navigate its darkness

I get lost in its light

The silence is deafening

The sounds are soothing

It holds me

It throws me

It hates me

It loves me

It is a stranger

It is a friend

It is life

It is death

It is old

It is new

It is the future

It is the past

It is everything and nothing

It is burning cold and freezing hot

It's everything that I'm not

And yet it is me
