Me

I love being myself
But I strive to be different

I thrive on passion
But still fear possession

I want to attain peace
But thrill is what drives me

I favour myself a lot
But contradict myself the most

I fight my own self most of the time
And win & lose the battle at the same time

I love to look attractive
But don’t want unnecessary attention

I live like there’s no tomorrow
And I don’t care, as if today doesn’t exist

I am me
Because I cease to be myself

I hold myself back
Because I want to fly away

I love to be with people
But I still adore my solitude

I like to be held on to
But I still want to be free

I will go away
Because I want be with you more

I want you to know what I feel without saying,
But I don’t want you to read my mind entirely

I will run away
Because I don’t want to leave yet

I love talking over the phone,
But fall silent when I am with you

I am me,
An assortment of contradictions
