I Am... Contradictions


I Am an extroverted soul trapped within the confines of an introverted meat suit.

I Am a diffident female with an abrasive and thundering laugh.

I Am a stylish purple coat worn with a badly knitted red cap.

I Am an abundance of varied contradictions.

 

I Am an obese slob who dreams of a lithe body of muscles, swathed in armor to fight dragons.

I Am an artist whose mind is inventive and hands are frozen.

I Am a beautiful girl who despises reflections from the bottom of her soul.

I Am an eclectic collection of ill-fitting puzzle pieces.

 

I Am a thesaurus mind paired with a slow and cumbersome tongue.

I Am a bipolar patient with a splash of sunshine.

I Am a primped teenager with an inclination towards loam soil.

I Am a mixture of oxymoron’s.

 

I Am a financial needs child who enjoys giving to others.

I Am a Christian who loves homosexuals and heterosexuals alike.

I Am an optimist that can think like a pessimist.

I Am a delightful combination of mismatched souls.

 

I Am all these things, yet none.

I Am defined by them, yet I define them.

I Am just another person in this world, yet I Am a world in a person.

 

I Am unforgivably, unrepentantly me.
