–
I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between. ~ Sylvia Plath
–
In day with sun, bright with light,
One gleams with warmth, and delight
When darkness comes, where light may fade,
A heart of gold becomes decayed.
In daylights glow, kindness prevails
But in the night, sin unveils
Light and dark, in constant sway,
Everyone shifts in night and day.
