Contradictions


I am a huge contradiction.

Yet all of my things

Work together to

Create the huge, beautiful mess

That is authentically me.

 

I am

Sarcastic and kind

Intelligent and impulsive

Shy and friendly

Protective and anxious.

 

A believer in

My family

My friends

My God

But rarely myself.

 

A lover of

Alternative/indie and pop music

Warm weather and sweatshirts

Cats and dogs

Eating and exercising

Reading the books and watching the movies.  

 

I don’t really know who I am

But I know that all of the

Odd-ends, the bits that

Don’t usually work together

Came together for me.

 

I may not be the smartest

Prettiest

Funniest

Or the “iest” at all

But this is me, no filter.

My pieces and all.
