The Walking Contradiction
I am me
I am the scars the line my arms and my heart
But at the same time I am the smile that never seems to fade
I am "too fat" to fit in the lighthouse according to the boy behind me
However according to his friend I am beautiful
I am hair that can never quite fall into place
And I am the eyes that can drag the truth out a criminal
Or so I'm told
I am wild dreams that no one would dare think of
While also being the fear that cripples even the bravest
I am the three am panic attack while thinking about the uncertainty of the future
But I am also the fireworks over the most magical place on Earth
I am the hand that grabs my stomach and tries to pull the skin off in disgust
However I am the hands that put me together every morning
I am a walking contradiction
I am me
