Contradictions

I’m a blind man that sees
I’m an atheist that believes
I’m a temperature that can freeze over 90 degrees

I’m a lie that tells truth
I’m evidence with no proof

I’m a woman that keeps quiet
I’m a peace rally that starts riots

I’m a public speaker that’s a mute
I’m an anti-gun activist that still shoots
I snipe people from the roof
And date a celibate prostitute

I’m a walking paraplegic
I’m a healthy obese bulimic

I’m an over weight gymnast
I’m a misogynistic feminist

I live my life forward
Like Revelations to Genesis

I’m an anti-social extrovert
I’m a nun in a mini skirt
I’m homeless and over worked

I’m high when I’m low
I speed up to go slow
I never keep promises
But I promise to let you know

I’m a midget that’s 6 feet
I’m a healthy heart that doesn’t beat
I’m forgotten history that didn’t repeat
I’m a narcoleptic that can’t sleep

I’m politician that’s truthful
I’m a president that useful

I’m an asthmatic that’s long winded
I’m stingy but quick to lend it
I’m hyper-sensitive so speak your mind and I won’t get offended

I’m aggressively passive
I’m the government that speaks truth to the masses
I’m a relationship that’s built on lies and deceit that lasts

I continue to feed negative thoughts so they can get weaker
I put lemons in water to make it sweeter
I’m a practical family man so I bought a two seater

I rap and expect it not to influence people
I glorify money in videos and tell kids it’s the root of all evil

I give you advice that I don’t follow
Then turn around and tell you pride is something you should swallow
I keep giving money to my alcoholic uncle to persuade him to get off the bottle

I want people to give me what I’m not willing to give in return
I continue to make the same mistakes but I look at you shaking my head because you're a person that never learns

I’m a Christian who gives Satan too much credit
I’m highly favored in the lord but my life style is pathetic

I’m a religion that believes only those in my faith will be saved
I pastor a church but can’t teach my kids how to behave

I see the good in all people but I faithful doubt their trust
I’m consistently inconsistent

I’m the contradiction in all of us….
