A Paradox of Juxtaposition

A paradox of juxtaposition, I think therefore I am Think too deeply, that concept too becomes a sham I'm here inside but you get the outside vision I think therefore I am, a paradox of juxtaposition Aerial thoughts they crash me down to Earth This blessing not much more than a terrible curse I'm fine even if I'm out of sorts They bring me down to Earth, aerial thoughts I've figured it out, I'm far too sane It's the ultimate aim, though debilitating bane I quietly, internally scream and shout I'm far too sane, I've figured it out

These are 2 of my favorite words, juxtaposition and paradox, and I love what you have done with them - spiraling in the simultaneous contrast and chime of paradox, when thinking and being are equated. It reminds me of those optical illusions where you see 2 faces or a vase but can never see them at the same time. very nice. J :)
