Paradox

I posted this in the comment section and was requested to share it, here.  Please enjoy.

 

I am confidence and insecurity
A poison and an antidote
Conception and fulfillment
A willing slave
Love, hate, angst, peace and surrender

I am thought and action
Breath and suffocation
Impulse and reaction
Fear and unabashed freedom
Addiction, release, life and death

I am madness and sanity
Frustration and resolution
Shallow and deep
Color and its absence
Water, light, earth air and fire

I am evil and pure
Ready yet unprepared
Brilliantly dull
Bohemian and corporate
Wealth, poverty and mediocrity

I am expansion and confinement
Thoughtful and selfish
Wisdom and naivety 
Kindness and cruelty
Violence, calmness, roughness and finesse

I am patience and intolerance
Religion and anarchy
Hesitation and certainty
Distance and intimacy

A paradox
