Why is it...

that the paradigm has to shift from one side to the other? Why is it that the paradigm can't just stay the way it is, for once...for a little while.

Why is it that this pendulum must constantly sway side to side, and can't stay where it is for a time?

Why is it push can never exist without pull - and why can't I stop getting stuck in between the two?

Why is it that this void - this space, this gap must exist between myself and those dreams that I was dreaming in the night...and why is it that the daylight always strikes the shadows and makes them all fade away into the depth of this soul?

I used to wonder why I was so afraid. I started to think about it, and tried to calm the fears - and said that none of them made any sense at all...

but then, the paradigm shifts and the pendulum swings - and my life is thrown off again.

I look at the mirrored eyes in the stars, and I can't help but wondering - where did it all go? And I can't help staring up at the sky and watching my breath fade into the night, and wondering why it all has to feel this way.

So cold outside...so cold, wherever I rest, wherever I lie.

I'd blame the pendulum, I'd blame the paradigm, I'd blame the push and pull - but there's got to be something more to it. There has to be something in this dycotome that just doesn't add up to zero....something in the equation that just doesn't balance.

And yet?

I can't quite figure it out yet. Maybe...maybe I never will - and I'll die unhappy and unsatisfied, and I'll never know what it could have been. But then again?

Maybe the dycotome will fade, maybe pendulum will cease, maybe the paradigm will rest...

and maybe I will know what it is to be without being afraid.
