Ambivalent
I’m both painfully shy, and brazenly bold.
The push & pull of opposing natures
that form my existence.
Living my life between the lines
Cold and factual yet scattered and emotion charged,
Faltering, yet ever steady;
loyal even when in full run.
Shuttering with precision,
accurately ambiguous,
softly roaring.
A cynical romantic,
a speechless poet,
practicing an artless art.
Inside and outside I quiver in an instant.
