Opposites Attract

"Opposites Attract"
 by Zack Portas
 Life comes and goes seemingly in moments
 We only notice the whole until pieces of it are broken
 To truly know life is to know death
 Before the sky we must know the ground on which we step
 Understanding love requires first knowing hate
 Feeling true joy is only known after pain

As light is only welcomed after being in the dark
 So peace is truly had after it's been apart
 Freedom only becomes real
 After it was something that you couldn't feel
 To truly know life is to know death
 And it's something I wish I didn't know yet.
