Enigma

I am God, giving you faith,
I am Satan, making you hate,
I am love, so you can feel,
I am hate when you can’t heel,
I’m your dream, when all is hell,
I’m your nightmare, when all is well,
I can make you,
I can destroy you,
I can make you trust,
Then trash your hopes,
And make you rust,
I bring you up, just to watch you fail,
I drop you down, just to hear you yell,
I am terror in the night,
I’m your blurry, fading sight,
I always care, I’m always here,
And when you need me I disappear,
I’m a tear in your eye,
I can make you want to die,
I’m your life, and I’m your death,
I’m your sigh, a longing breath,
I will make you love me,
I will make you hate me,
But in the end you can’t leave me.
I’m your truth when all is lies,
I’m your reason you’re despised.
I can thrill you, I can heal you,
I will steal you, I will kill you,
I’m your voice when you can’t speak,
I’m your pleasure when all is bleak,
I’m your ears when you can’t hear,
I’m your one and only fear,
I’m your eyes when you are blind,
I am spiteful when you wish to be kind,
I am here, and I am there,
I am simply everywhere...

    Ever heard the song "Sad but True" by Metallica? This reminded me of it, which is a compliment by the way. Woot woot for good ol' tallica. Moving right along.

    Nice paradoxes created and a terribly enigmatic feeling was evoked. (Insert 'duh' at any moment here. Enigma. Right.)

    And while I'm dreadfully sorry to praise you on your poetry, you're not half bad, you know. Cheers.
