The Black Within The White Poem by Racina Rodriguez

White

I am purity, I am Perfection
You must have me
Or you are nothing
You mean nothing to no-one without me
I am virginity, peace and harmony
I am your smile
Your false happiness
And though I lead people to you,
I will lead you astray
Into a world where only I exist
Your perfection
Yet, it is I, who will drive you insane because of my perfection
For,
Perfection comes at a price my dear…

Black

You cannot contain me
You cannot hold me
For I contain YOU
I hold YOU in my clutches
I am what is within my sister: White
I am your soul,
your demons
The things you dare not show on the outside
But I will not be ignored
You cannot defy me my right of being seen
So, soon, very soon
Will I come out from this cage
That imprisons me in false happiness
