Simple Complication

Folder: 
2015

Simple complications,

sensible contradictions

in every step I take

 

I’m not always the best

hand to hold

I’m not the easiest

clay to mold

but I’m not

giving up yet

 

I’m a simple

complication,

quiet

alleviation

from the chaos that is

being here

 

I’ve always been a

loud silence,

a soft and striking

blue,

diving deep into the twilight

 

I’m the end of the beginning,

the beginning of the end,

an adventure that will never exist

 

I’m black and

white,

harmony and

strife,

a ghost that will

weigh on your shoulders, 

an elaborate spread of roots

in the ground

 

I’m a simple

complication,

a sensible contradiction,

 

the loudest quiet you’ve ever heard

You have some great writing

You have some great writing in this piece! There are plenty of lines that have amazingly creative contradictions.  I was not fond of the invisible visibility or real unreality, but the rest really caught my eye.

Interesting contradictions that you make them sound the same.
