My Path

From my path, they attempt to draw me.
That which is good, beckons to be joined.
That which is evil, tempts me to stray.
That which is right, lights the path.

From my path, I will not be deterred.
Without good, I am lost and in pain.
Without evil, I am blinded to hazard.
Without a path, I am doomed to wander aimlessly.

My path is what I follow to the goal.
Good guides my right and humbles me.
Evil bounds my left and humanizes me.
The path provides me choice.

The path is lit by the conflict.
Good is essential for my life.
Evil is always present and just as necessary.
Polar opposites stir the realization of my path.

There are no absolutes.
