Paradoxes
04.06.2021
The more you give the further I get
From you
You cannot fix what's been broken
You cannot unsay or undo
What's been done
From the moment you pushed me away
You had me
On the run
I cannot get out of this cage
But I've been set free for a while
I cannot get past this rage
But I'm done with you
And I'm not in denial
Each person they touch you in some way
Add another fold to your origami
Till you are an indescribable mess
This misshapen series of events
You can't even begin to address
The muddled up form that is you
Yet, that is what we each must do
Try to learn to live with each other
Try to learn to live with ourselves
And all at once we must
Say goodbye to one another
As we lock ourselves up
In our own cells
The ones that make up our bodies
And everything else in between
Is just space
Further away from the truth
Why can't we just say what we mean
And be what we say we are
And do what we've promised to
Each day we've come so far
And yet, nothing is ever new
We go back to the root of our being
And we'll always go back
We wont' stray
We'll keep wandering
Forever
And yet we'll never get away
The paradox of people
We always rearrange
And yet we'll always be who we once were
Life is just time
And it's strange
