You and I

I honestly cannot fathom why I wrote this or in what context. Just felt like talking about balance.Like my star sign the scales,there's always the good and evil ie the two sides. And yet they some how manage to co exist. With either one of them being in excess causing disharmony. Strange is the middle name of life.(First name:My) ;)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you emerge  from your den, head high,locks dancing to the tune of the jungle breeze,
I bury myself in my burrow, overwhelmed with sorrow, seeking solace from this mundane tease.
You smell blood, and smirk. Awaiting to prowl out and prey, bringing home glory at the end of the day,
I bask in shame, buoyant to be still breathing. Contemplating on my failures, inabilities to conquer the fray.
You are now flying above the mere mortals, thrown into the flight so naïve, but to learn autonomy,
I waited along with ravens of my kind, hoping to crow at the sight of death, with courage so phony.
You knelt down, and  rode the storm to aid the wounded hearts, to erase their amassed aches,
I shied away, bloated with ego; riddled with fear to help, changing my color, the selfishness dwelling within awakes.
You never abandon your herd,and adopt with your golden heart that bleeds of giving love,devoid of expectations,
I close all the doors, with my heart bleeding black,hunting the gullible;attach as a parasite and after that I break all liaisons.

You are all the beautiful creations in this dogmatic world, the sound of music inspiring justice,
I am the hiss of envy, shrouded in a hint of hope, yet nothing to offer,trying to buy bliss.

You are the pariah, self ostracized from the worldly ways, carving a niche of your own persona, trying to live and not just exist,
I run circles, unsuccessfully.Striving for extravaganza in mediocrity;satisfying myself with humane needs,feeding the soul enough to persist

You are an angel without the wings; oblivious to the naked eye that perceives by itself prejudiced.
I am the decoy,manifesting, pleasing the seldom tinted eyes, the darkness in me goes unnoticed.

You are everything I want to be,
You are everything I cannot be.
You are everything somehow I shouldn't be.

Why is "I" self deteriorating itself?
Very deep!
