this image shows so many opposites, and with it being captured on jekyll island in georgia, it got me to thinking about the human psyche in dealing with all the opposites dwelling inside us
"jekyll and hyde" is defined as: a phrase used in reference to someone or something that alternately displays two different sides to their character or nature
we all have so many opposites inside of each of us: empty and full, winning and losing, finishing and quitting, ignorance and wisdom, satisfaction and disgust, happy and sad, busy and peaceful, craziness and sanity, anger and calm, loud and silent, ego and modesty, hope and despair, dream and reality, love and hate, lies and truth, right and wrong...good versus evil seem to be the one we fight the most... as we constantly struggle between what we know is right and the bad things we do in spite of that knowledge...i am always waling the line between what i should do and what i actually do...
jekyll is my heart, doctoring me with love, pumping compassion throughout my body...but then mister hyde is my mind, consuming me with ego and pride, too many noisy thoughts floating around my head...follow my heart or listen to my head? be jekyll or turn into hyde? i always have both jekyll and hyde in me, living inside me, battling for control of my soul...
i find real solace in the stars at night...i see therapy in the constellations and heavenly bodies of the universe up above...
all alone i fight my inner demons and distaste for beings of the daylight. seeking comfort from the loneliness, i look to the beauty of the night sky...an effervescent milky way, luminescent stars, glowing planets...her soothing echoes are somewhere between the silence of my eyes, and i find balance in opposing forces, as this impossible sunrise in the depth of the darkest night awakens my soul...
this image today here is an impression of the values of opposites we have inside us, all the times we display two opposing sides of our own nature in the same consecutive moments...i truly hope you enjoy it as my blog here walks on the darker side of things...
"there's just so much goddamned weight on my shoulders all i'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life. supposed to be happy, but i'm only getting colder. wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside. there's just so much goddamned weight on my shoulders. all I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life. supposed to be happy, but i'm only getting colder. wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside...there's a demon inside, just like jekyll and hyde. all this anger inside, i feel like jekyll and hyde. there's just so much goddamned weight on your shoulders, that you can't just live your motherfucking life. the story's getting old and my heart is getting colder. i just wanna be jekyll, but i'm always fighting hyde...you've got rocks in your head, i can hear them rolling 'round. you can say that you're above it, but you're always falling down. is there a method to your madness, is it all about pride? everyone i know, they've got a demon inside...there's a demon inside, just like jekyll and hyde. all this anger inside, i feel like jekyll and hyde...if i wasn't so deranged, could i ever face the pain? if i ever want to change, would this all remain the same? all i'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life. wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside. all i'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life. wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside...there's a demon inside, just like jekyll and hyde. all this anger inside, i feel like jekyll and hyde" ― five finger death punch, jekyll and hyde
"destroying all that's me inside
ruining and tearing me open wide
so many tears i've foolishly cried
for being truthful, she never tried
everything she said, she just lied and lied
so her ego could feed her ravenous pride
just a narcissistic evil missus hyde
