dichotomies

I am a walking oxymoron

I am a contradiction

I consider myself a realist

but crave the taste of fiction

 

I am a both sides of an argument;

much like the true colors of freedom

I bristle at words of affirmation

because I hate that I need them

 

Oh, wretched heel!

Oh, bane of life!

Cease to inflict your funereal strife!

What must it take?

Would I be healed,

Should my dichotomies be revealed?

 

I am a fire upon the sea

I am a grand confliction

I write as if I have no inhibitions,  

but it seems that words are an addiction
