Oxymoron

Oxymoron

A Poem by Eliott

I am an oxymoron. I'm sensibly insane. I'm selfless and I'm greedy. I'm humble and I'm vain.

I'm persistently relenting, ordinarily strange, shockingly predictable.
I love consistent change.

A fulfilling disappointment, I'm so pleasantly bleak. I'm remarkably forgotten. I'm dangerously meek.

I'm anchored down and drifting to elsewhere in this place. The feelings that I'm hiding are apparent on my face.

I'm trapped and I am lost behind this revealing mask. I'm full of inhibition and never holding back.

My bones are strong and brittle. My skin's flimsy and thick. My teary eyes are dried out. My life's an honest trick.

Holding onto my dismissal and never letting go. I'm plainly ornamental. I shrivel as I grow.

A great dark flash surrounds me. I'm confidently shy. I'm so extremely curious and never wonder why.

I'm just your average mutant on the center of the edge. I'm significantly trivial. Outspoken in my head.

I'm obliviously suspicious, susceptibly immune. I'm drowning on the surface, weighed down by this balloon.

A loyal betrayal, an overflowing vacancy. I'm cheerfully depressed, and silently, I scream.

I fight my peaceful battle, comfortably in pain. I'm mending as I'm cutting, imprisoned and unchained.

I get these riddling answers and I cuddle violently. I'm in organized chaos. I die energetically.

I'm arrogantly shameful, alone in this large crowd. I'm obviously hidden, and whispering so loud.

My importance is irrelevant like my hideous beauty. Life's impossibly simple- an unknown guarantee.

The things that I am doubting, I am quite certain of. I'm miserably happy and painfully in love.

I should have reviewed this a while ago, but I want to tell how much of an amazing piece this is. You seamlessly string together the idea of an oxymoron and its contradictory sense-making logic through the aspects of the human mind, heart and spirit with all the emotions and thoughts present within them. Incredibly well done.

Bravo, what a wonderful read. It reminded me vaguely of an Alanis Morrisette song...One Hand In My Pocket...I'm a big fan of her Jagged Little Pill CD. So what does it all boil down to?

Well penned!
I really enjoyed this piece, very creative and full of interesting information.
If you are all of these things it's really cool that you know this about yourself,
not everyone can say that about themselves, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!
