A Waking Contradiction - 8STOPS7

I’m sleeping

I’m restless

I’m breathing

And breathless

I’m willing

Unable

Drifting

Unstable

I’m after

And I’m before

A sore loser

And good sport

I’m owned by this feeling like I’m climbing the ceiling

My strength is my weakness!

I’m strong enough to see this!

My moods swing

I daydream

I’m selective

But I’m listening

I seem

To be

Cold, turned-off completely

My actions deceiving

My insides how I’m feeling

Force me out

Just let me be

I need you now

You don’t need me

I am confused

Your symmetry

One day

I’ll

Find

Why

You’d

Need

Mine

I’m sleeping

I’m restless

I’m careful

But reckless

Complacent

Conceited

Divided

Defeated

I’m blue skies

And hail storm

A warm invite

And a get-gone

I own my ambitions

But lost all my convictions

My strength is my weakness!

I’m strong enough to see this!

My moods swing

I daydream

I’m selective

But I’m listening

I seem

To be

Cold, turned-off completely

My actions deceiving

My insides how I’m feeling

Force me out

Just let me be

I need you now

You don’t need me

I am confused

Your symmetry

One day

I’ll

Find

Why!

You’d!

Need!

Mine!

Somewhere beneath

This indiscreet behavior

Lies a story to unfold

It scares me most

That I don’t know

Where my villains hide

How capable of a lie

And if I’d rather be denied

Mine!

Force me out

Just let me be

I need you now

You don’t need me

I am confused

Your symmetry

One day

I’ll

Find
