In the battle against being
I have now taken up the fight,
Accepting my contradictions
Or let authentic self give flight.

Denial of divided lives
Is to embrace a fallacy,
While to embrace complications
Is in no way hypocrisy.

In looking to my ideal self
I found how many I could be,
And with confusion and despair
I’d given up on finding me.

My right brain took hold of my pen,
Meanwhile my left brain studied math,
Broke hearts with my sincerity
Lamenting my conflicted path.

An enigma at a distance
Of far too many hidden sides,
I choose faithfulness to them all
And disappoint the world besides.
