paradox

I don't eat, yet I gain weight.

I don't yell, yet I am angry.

I don't trust, yet I am trusted.

I don't dream, yet I am a dreamer.

I don't cry, yet I am weak.

I don't believe, yet I pray.

I don't care, yet I am jealous.

I don't flirt, yet I am promisuous.

I don't write, yet I am a writer.

I don't

yet

I do.

<p>I love how your poem admits that there are other ways to show what you do or want to do and how the font gets bigger in importance of the action. </p>
