Frustrations

You want light and you want dark,
Yet you get "light", you lose the shield.
You get "dark", you lose the spark.
Damn the puzzle that just won't yield!

How do you choose, between the two?
What do you use, to end the blue?

Do you trust the feeling, and take a stride,
or trust the ken, and play it safe?
Do you follow the desire deep inside,
or dog the truth, and let it chafe?

Damn the dread, damn these choices!
Damn your head, with its million voices!
