Contradictions

It is and isn't my fault of who I act.

There are two sides of me that contrast.

One of me is calm and steady

Who I like to act.

The other is scattered and obnoxious.

This is the contrast.

 

The collected me is weak and sometimes numb.

It's a matter of chemicals, you see, that makes me dumb.

I know you don't like the person you have watched me become.

But understand, this is the contrast.

 

It isn't my intention to be like this, I swear.

These chemical sacks in my head sometimes scatter everywhere.

I promise I get better in time during this affair.

Please! For the love of all things, know this is the contrast.

 

I am a lot of two people I don't understand.

It might have been best if I were more bland.

Having me with you I know can get out of hand.

Sweetie, the doctors say I can't be helped, see this is the contrast!

 

It is and isn't my fault of who I act.

There are two sides of me that contrast.

One of me is calm and steady

Who I like to act.

The other is scattered and obnoxious.

This is the contrast.
