Contradiction

I am a paradox

I am moderately extreme

I am a practical poet

I am numb and yet I can feel

I am fragile yet unbreakable

I am dangerously safe

I seek balance on an edge

Although you don't understand me

But you will find yourself in this maze

I am perfectly flawed

Like an eclipsed moon

I am a little bit of dusk

I am a little bit of dawn

I am darkness with a halo

I am lonely in a crowd

I am kind and I can be cruel

I am a queen without a crown

I can be caustic, I can be cold

Yet you will run to me when

You need someone to hold

I am a wounded healer

That's how I know your pain

I won't ask you questions

About the story of your life

Because I already know you

I searched your soul through your eyes

There is love hidden in my anger

There is pleasure mixed with my pain

I die a little death every day

To live a little more each day

I am the siren

Who wont mislead

I want a pound of flesh

But I don't want you to bleed

I am young

But I am an old-soul

I would like you to conquer me

But I don't want to lose control

I will crash

I will burn

I will crumble

I will break

But if you think

I am gone

That's really your mistake

Cause I will soar from the ashes

Like a golden phoenix

I will always reinvent

When you least expect

Everytime I break

It is to build a new me

I will make pearls out of hardships

I am life's oyster

Metamorphosis is my destiny

I too sometimes get lost

Amid this chaotic clutter of contradictions

I know what I am seeking

But I still don't know what I want

So I know how you feel

When you can't seem to reach out to me

I am just a simple complication

So don't you give up on me..
