More Than Meets the Eye

 A person said he likes my honesty and another person said he dislikes me for being honest.......

It made me think ,what is the real me?

What is my character in my own life?

What am I?

I haven’t always been a good person.....

In some lives, I’ve been toxic......

In others, I’ve helped them reach the top......

In some stories, I’ve been a bad friend......

In others, I’ve always been the best listener.....

But,at the end of the day, i am myself,

I have a happy personality and a sad soul.

I am a walking contradiction, a tapestry woven with threads of joy and sorrow, boldness and shyness.

 I confuse people, and sometimes, I confuse myself.

My personality often beams with happiness, yet my soul carries a weight of sadness.

 When I strive for joy, the shadows of melancholy creep in, reminding me of what could have been or what might never be.

I am bold in my actions, yet shy in revealing my true self.

 I love deeply, with an intensity that can be both a blessing and a curse. 

Sometimes, I feel a coldness, a detachment that surprises even me.

I crave attention, the warmth of connection, but I push away the very things I desire. 

I am healing, slowly mending the cracks within, but simultaneously, I am hurting, bearing the scars of past battles.

I am a listener, absorbing the stories of others, offering a shoulder, but I rarely share my own burdens. 

I am a vault, keeping my deepest thoughts and feelings locked away.

I struggle with self-acceptance, yet I find myself loving the person I am becoming. 

The journey of growth is a constant battle, a push and pull between self-criticism and self-compassion.

I say "I don't care," a shield against vulnerability, but the truth is, I care too much.

 The world's joys and sorrows resonate within me, deep into my bones.

I am dedicated to growth, striving to evolve, but I also self-sabotage, a frustrating dance of progress and setbacks.

I am a living paradox, a testament to the complexities of the human heart. 

And perhaps, in my contradictions, I am more real than ever.

I'm paradoxical !!

I am the echo of a thousand whispers, a symphony of opposing forces. And in that discord, I find my song!
