A Contradiction Inside
My heart was settled
My legs were untethered
The sense of thick-skinnedness
lied in between the surfaces of these grounds.
But I'm unbothered
My electric current is strong
shocking through my veins, fingers and toes,
with all the energy within my feet and muscles
commanding my nerve cell connected to my brain
to hype up.
I was okay, a little crazy
jumping, blaring a little.
My voice was loud enough,
it's like a microphone connected to my box
and when I shout, beware a glass might crack.
It could either echo or be a ringtone in your head.
It could be your sweetest dream or worst nightmare.
I was stubborn
I know what I want
I can pull threads
from clothes and tear
from a piece to pieces with no part to spare
just to get what I want.
And sometimes we let our wants to fly,
we procrastinate them
like our childhood and teenage responsibilities.
When that fleshy bird comes to ground,
we let it stay there instead of filling our tummies,
with the good food we have around here.
I'm now impactful
with wings constructed all over my back
letting me fly up high
to the unlimited sky.
The sky is the limit,
but there is no ceiling in the sky
like a house.
But beware gravity exists,
We are in a world that hustles,
whether you got the gold or not.
I was on an elevator,
preparing myself for a bigger chapter
but falling off, I went on a cliff
pushed down roughly to the ground
seing trees down going up, while I go down.
So maybe I'm in the middle now
or going back high.
There is a life full of opposites,
but fake amnesia catches all of us in the midst.
We progress and decelerate,
seize victory or carry on defeat.
We are still on our feet
not driving, but surviving.
Making rights compiled of wrongs,
Its hard like sleeping on the street
thinking it's cheap,
you might burn, get wet or even freeze!
That's a contradiction!
