A Complex Individual

I'm extremely visual
On first impressions
Encompassing chemicals
For passive aggression

Not a lick of cynical
Seeing other's position
If actions prove equivocal
I have a defensive intuition

I abide by my rituals
Obsessive compulsive
With a heart quite gullible 
I'll be the first to forgive 

If you speak political
Find another ear
While I opt for mystical
Logic struggles to adhere

 I act for principle
Though, often times
I'm a bit too colorful
And tempt the lines

My gift is analytical
Language evokes bliss
Knowledge is critical
If not more, I know less

I despise superficial 
As you can see
Honesty is essential
For me to feel free

You may think atypical
If my words fall short
But the structure is essential
An intelligence port

If you walk away critical
I respect your hot air
Words written were intentional
For ignorance, I won't spare
