The Box

I am a living paradox
Cannot be confined in a box
I am who I am, nature dictates that I can
I alone defines, who I am as a man
Just better deal 
Because i'm keeping it real
I am sensitive and hard
A simple man, my own God
An idiot and enlightened
A lot of bravery filled with frightened
The Yin to my own Yang
A whisper, but also a bang
