Pretty in Pink – Hannah Mason
Opposites
Mo Zheng
It’s funny, how it seems,
That everything has a pair.
How we pray for happiness,
When it’s already there.
How can we see,
Without first closing our eyes?
How can we learn,
If failure doesn’t rise?
How can we heal,
Without first feeling pain?
How can we grow,
If we always stay the same?
One Friday evening,
The world spoke far too loud.
I lay alone in my muted room,
As voices drifted from the crowd.
The darkest times illuminate joy,
The loneliest nights teach love.
There’s something about opposites—the way they gleam—
Life isn’t always the way it seems.
