Contradicting Me

Contradicting Me I'm a man of contradictions I know just how it seems. A travesty a tragedy a man of such extremes. Each time you pull me closer you're pushing me away. I'm silent for awhile then I've got a lot to say. I write of peace and happiness while broken deep within. I'm leaving for forever or til I come back again. Sometimes I hate the shadows but still I love the night. I hate the lies that people tell and hide them from the light. Still I tell of love undying and things still yet to be. I say I hate the lying but still I lie to me. I say that it will be ok no matter where I go. I say that it will be alright and I don't even know. A shining light to many but yet I am ill fated. Loved by one here and there by others I am hated. I'm a man of contradictions I know just how it seems. A travesty a tragedy a man of such extremes. Edwin C Hofert
