My Heart's Prison

Contradictions

I am impossibly old,

Yet see through the eyes of an infant.

I watch a dancing flame with wonder and awe,

But still it seems to be my greatest fear.

The thing I dream about most, Is also

The reason I am curled into a ball at night.

I have certain thoughts only because i'm so selfish.

I do not act on these thoughts,

Solely because i'm thinking of others.

I fight inside myself, but no one can see.

I am full of contradictions.

We don't know what is right and wrong.

The world is not black and white.

But I know when I close my eyes,

And the fears creep back in,

There will be nothing there to contradict them.

Never settled,

I can never see only one side,

Be only one thing,

Until I can.
