A Challenge

Could you be

A self-fulfulling dichotomy

Like me?

A wandering sense of vividry

In scenes

Colored with opposing needs.


Yes, my giving tree

Roots in sand I can never see

Smallest on that quartz-driven scale

Nostalgic grains beneath my feet


Could you be?

Every part as red as green

Every sense of dread and jealousy

Or a calming shrine of divinity

Pinned to skins that flex can reach

Yet opposing in all it's risability

And topped with easy-going seas

No trough apart from crest or peak


I know I am me

But could you be?

That light of mind

Every bit of numb as art

Every choking hole as freedom

Yearning in sleep but set apart

That crowd we all took comfort from

Or so we thought

Every smile as was a pout

Every love had as was lost

Self-conscious loathes but confident

Energetic hopes but wearing down


Could you be?

What you said and what you think?

Or is it really so hard to believe

To define in terms of identity

All the parts that make us seem

As if we belonged to no scene

No park nor place nor street

Just optimistic negativity

Laid-in-the-ground uncertainty

Deaf and blind but sounds to see


Could you convince the world that's how we're meant to be?
