Paradox

Paradox

A Poem by E.G. James

I wanna pour my heart out 
But I hold it in and never shout 
I might not tell it all 
But still I am far from a liar 
I hide in lonely spaces 
I don't do well in crowded places 
Yes I'm cautious and careful 
And I still get burnt by the fire 
You hear what I say but never listen 
We are here but respect is missing 
At least we still have love 
But it's not enough 

In a paradox a paradox
It's so unreal
In a paradox this has got to stop
I no longer know what to feel
In a paradox

And if I did something wrong
I need you to remind me I'm strong
When I smile know when it's real
Because I fake too often
Easy days were not in my cards
How I wish I could live with the stars
I could tell you what I feel
I don't know where to begin
I know what you want but I can't give it
We all sin so I can't be perfect
You want more than my best
Just give it a rest

In a paradox a paradox
It's so unreal
In a paradox this has got to stop
I no longer know what to feel
In a paradox
