Contradiction Impossible, it captivates: Alone while surrounded, Crumbling while steadfast, Contentedly miserable, Actively apathetic, The lazy activist, Cynically optimistic, Knowledgably ignorant, Falling from support, A teary smile. It is all of us; But mostly it is me, Out of balance with no direction to go. Then there’s my reference; Wayward and fleeting, It has arrived with new purpose. It is hear to stay. Yet my reference is also a contradiction, As unbalanced as I. But where I am black it is white, Empty where I overflow, Floating when I sink Yet, as chaotic static can become equal to silence, Or many waves will calm each other; So is my reference. My mirror And how better to see yourself but through a mirror? My reference is my mirror Oppositely identical; And so we too are a contradiction How unlikely? How fated.

What You Do
Contradiction Impossible, it captivates: Alone while surrounded, Crumbling while steadfast, Contentedly miserable, Actively apathetic, The lazy activist, Cynically optimistic, Knowledgably ignorant, Falling from support, A teary smile. It is all of us; But mostly it is me, Out of balance with no direction to go. Then there’s my reference; Wayward and fleeting, It has arrived with new purpose. It is hear to stay. Yet my reference is also a contradiction, As unbalanced as I. But where I am black it is white, Empty where I overflow, Floating when I sink Yet, as chaotic static can become equal to silence, Or many waves will calm each other; So is my reference. My mirror And how better to see yourself but through a mirror? My reference is my mirror Oppositely identical; And so we too are a contradiction How unlikely? How fated.
