In the labyrinth of the mind

opposable truths dance and clash

each five-letter word a facet of our journey

each a contradictory force to reckon.

Doubt and faith wrestle in the corridors

one a mist that blurs the path

the other a beacon that illuminates the way.

In the shadows, anger flares

a wildfire burning through serenity

yet from its ashes, calm often emerges.

Guilt and innocence stand opposed

one a sentinel of past misdeeds

the other a breath of freedom.

They vie for dominion over the heart

each shadowing the other's step.

Grief and joy walk hand in hand

each step a reminder of love lost

each tear a testament to memories cherished.

They are companions in the journey

one amplifying the presence of the other.

Shame and pride duel in the depths

one a cloak that hides the true self

the other a light that reveals.

They pull and push, shaping the spirit

each a mirror reflecting the other's face.

In this dance of opposable truths

we navigate the path with care

embracing each contradiction

finding balance in the tension

transforming under life's pressure

becoming whole in the paradox.
