Contradiction

Contradiction

Always searching no time to find
Always looking, but never behind
Always smiling not knowing the joke
Always thinking what memories evoke

Always talking but not much to say
Always colouring but still looking grey
Always hoping, but views pessimistic
Always in dreaming but not realistic

Always running but not going too far
Always driving but I don’t need a car
Always winning but don’t get the point
Always Sunday but haven’t got a joint

Always moving and yet standing still
Always living when the only urge is to kill
Always praying but no one can hear
Always fearless and yet full of fear
