Love the darkness in the morning,
Love the light of the night.
Hate the clouds that block the moon,
Hate the haze the that shadows the sun.
Believe in the darkness in your heart,
Believe in the light that shows through your soul.
Doubt the lies you conceal in your head,
Doubt the so called truths people throw in your face.
Embrace the darkness of your wishes upon the shooting stars,
Embrace the light of the lonely butterfly's wings.
Reject the boundaries of your freedom,
Reject the glory of faked forgiveness.
Lighter is the darkness of the Evening Sunrise,
Darker is the light of the Midnight Dawn.

we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not interested in just being good
