Dichotomy

No one really has ulterior motives.

It is all me not understanding a clear intention.

Feeling so sharp- hearing all those whispers unfolding. 

Whispers that are actually the remnants of my old self. 

I am trying to communicate with a crazy person. 

Just like everyone around me. 

Sometimes, I tell myself I should be exalted. 

In the next moment, I tell everyone I should be condemned. 

Contradictions is what they are calling it. 

Dichotomy is what I’m calling it.
