Dual Nature

Posted on June 29, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Born of pain

Raised by fire

Now I live

A life of opposites

Heart of a hero

Craving

To save all others

Soul of a demon

Thirsting

For the blood of all

Hell races through my veins

While heaven rules my heart

My actions are pure

Though my thoughts are vile

I am not what I think I am

                                                                                                                                                             

I had several moments of depression at the beginning of the Israel trip.  It was the first time away from home and, at the time, I had terrible shyness.  The entire event triggered an identity crisis where I was trying to figure out who I really was.  Not an easy, or possibly smart, thing to do in a foreign country.
