I am sanity and madness
genius and fool
all at the same time

my soul a place
where good and evil converge
in mortal combat
for I am the darkness and I am the light
my dominion coming from all things

my words
pale reflection of
what transpires in and around me
though still moving others
to laughter…insight...tears

fame and infamy
my gift and curse
their entanglement
sure to confound
any judging god

and yet
in whose image was I created?
