Just slow down,
Don't forget how to inhale exhale
I am holding your essence
In my sweaty little hand and yet
I am terrified-
Petrified by my constant recklessness.
My sunny disposition
It's who I really am, believe it
Or else you will never know me.
A contradiction unto myself
Is all I have ever been
And more than I ever knew to wish for.
Paradoxical existence has begun to bore me.
Such a florid schism unfolds
Within my physical hemisphere of reason
As the world becomes curiouser and curiouser
My cognition expands like a galaxy
Hastening in perpetuity.
I need to reel it back,
But I covet the gluttony
Of knowledge, a binge on ingenuity
Even while ill, I am compelled to consume it.
By all estimations, I will forever be
Inebriated by your torrid gaze
And indispensable touch.
That I don't find prosaic in the least.
Have I ever been lacking for love?
