I am a Paradox


I am here and everywhere and yet nowhere

A separate consciousness and yet a reflection of my reality

Infinite and finite

Always right and always wrong

Always finding the most when I am "lost" or "weird"

 

A real yet artifical set of shifting clouds in a foreign sky

My mind a fantasy but a powerful reality wherever I go

Loving so much that I wish to keep increasing the growth

Of love and life rather than being complacent

I am unable to love only what is alredy here

 

Not needing the universe to complete me

But imagining that I do to fill the hole where you are missing

A beacon of light that was supposed to fill you up

But instead made you feel darker and more distant

Dimming my light as well

 

Living in a world that is complicated where it should be simple

And simple where it should be complicated and intricate and beautiful

I am about to be thrown into the ring of legal adults

Though we will all always be children

I will always keep my mind and heart open
