An Internal Contradiction

One of my personal favorite... kind of a throwback

A contradiction all it own

 having long patience w/ a short temper

 a feeling of understanding alone 

nothing less than perfection 

allotting the time to achieve 

love always giving my all hating that there's nothing to receive 

living my life always knowing both realities 

the good and bad of it all 

learned to cope with the bittersweet 

a walking, talking contradiction 

both sides canceling each other out 

one side longing for life's fictions 

the others analytic thinking says "whats it for, whats it about" 

The reality and imagination spun together forming a medley 

spinning as fast as colliding galaxies 

the weight of the contradiction with-in rest upon my shoulders heavily 

resting on one knee

posing as the great and mighty Atlas

with the look of a man deep within his own soul

only to find the world is on MY shoulders

my mind is the world and the world is only in my mind
