I Did Not Wake Up Like This


I am strong, but I am gentle

I am proud, but I am sensitive

I am confident, but I am conscious of myself

I am loud, but I like to be quiet

I am hyper, but I  am exhausted

How can this be?

Am I a walking anomaly?

Do I make contradictions to myself and my personality?

Or is it the contradictions that so flawlessly make me?
