contradictions

You can be cold

but not without consequence

You can be warm

but not without effort

You can be brave

but not without fear

You can be good 

but not without sacrifice

You can be evil

but not without cause

not without perspective.

They tell me

that they’re evil 

that they’re deluded 

but who has 

illusions them

to your falsehoods?

Who has

illusioned you

to their truths

when neither of hou

has stopped to 

consider

the other.

Have either of you

stopped to consider

the flaws of 

your truth 

and the benefits of theirs?
