kiss the cliches

Life is like that proverb  
about two wolves  
one full of light  
one full of darkness  
 
Stop feeding your fucking demons
like they're not capable of  
eating you alive  
because you know they will  
while you pretend you like it  
because dancing with the devil you know  
is easier than reaching out  
to the angel you don't  
 
There's a reason sayings like  
"take the road less travelled"  
exist
no adventure is going to begin  
in your comfort zone  
 
Nothing good comes easy  
and you can hate me for my cliches  
but I love a good cliche  
especially when it comes with a story  
 
What will yours be?
One full of light and adventure?
Or one full of fighting demons in the dark?
