Paradox

by @javier-garza

A walking paradox That is who I am With a fiery passion that blazes within me That shines through the darkness A fire that burns me inside But alas, that fire meets it's counterpart The cold, dark ice that freezes from inside my soul The icy storm that roars in my eyes So cold and dead This ice freezes my blood My life is but a paradox With two at war The flaming passion that drives me forward And the cold ice that freezes me in the past When passion and hate clash within a soul What is to be expected? A burning inferno of passion? That sets the world ablaze Or a cold storm that wrecks havoc and chaos? That freezes all in its path? My life is but a paradox I try to move forward But I'm too lost in the past to make any progress As fire and ice clash, These cold eyes see all This burning heart feels all Which is stronger? The burning will to live? Or the cold, analytical desire for destruction? This is my living Paradox
