Dreaming Out Loud

She's a Contradiction

She's a contradiction.
She celebrates her life,
but dreams of wings to fly.
She surrounds herself with loved ones,
yet feels isolated all the time.
She lives her life living up to everyone's dream,
even when she has millions of her own.
She's strong,
the type that's bound to be broken.
She has a storm rages inside her,
and an easy, calm tide outside.
She tries too hard to open up,
just to eventually push everyone away.
She's a mess, a beautiful, beautiful mess;
the one to be admired from a distance.
To the world of alphabets she's a whole story—
don't even think of getting a full grasp,
for she herself hasn't yet.
