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.
