I'm a paradox

I'm sleepy

But not sleeping

Faithless

But not cheating

Wandering

But not lost

Paying

But not the cost

Happy

But not glad

Crying

But not sad

Distant

But not far

Dishonest

But not a liar

Wishing

But not hopeful

Praying

But not soulful

Raging

But not mad

Evil

But not bad

With you

But still so alone

In my room

But so far from home

I'm a paradox

Wrapped in straight talk
