An Oxymoron

Sweet and salty
Deliciously complex
Nice, but naughty
Stripes with specks

Exalted face down
There but gone
A hopeful frown
An oxymoron 

Let's be friends
At first I think
Giggles and grins
Too soon, you stink

True colors, vibrant
Rich and bold
Unpleasant. strident
Clashing hues roll

The opposite side
Of me, in action
The paint has dried
A blunt reaction

My pillow, a cloud
Peaceful dreams
Beneath a shroud 
Blood curdling screams

The "butterfly"
A white girl raps
My horse and I
Saddle and chaps

Walk for the cause
Chiseled body
Gluttonous flaws
Eating naughty

These changes happened
Within the hour
My body strapped in
I have no power
