What makes me me

Eyes that see yet are blind
A heart that  can feel and yet be numb
A mind that wants to quit but willpower strong enough to never surrender
A smile that warms others  but burns itself
Dreams that parade down empty streets and nightmares that run the city
Hope that carries others but sacrifices itself
A love that struggles to hate and a hate that struggles to love
Two sides of one coin each side face with no eyes and still spills tears
An empty mind that still festers fears.
A garden of Eden surrounded by mountains of hell.
A simple heart with a cruel mind
A selfish heart with a soul so kind
A question without an answer
And I still refuse to surrender
