Paint me with oxymorons!

By Cephra Fernandes 

If someone asks you, what type of person I am? 
Tell them she is scared of heights but will be the first one up a cliff looking down. 
Tell them she is scared of the dark but can't sleep without complete darkness. 
Tell them she fell from the bike multiple times but will still travel 20+km like it never happened to begin with! 
Tell them she is scared to be alone but thrives in her personal space. 
Tell them she is always anxious, 
Tell them she is always scared , 
Tell them she gets in her own head, 
Tell them she has way too many breakdowns and sad days. 
But also tell them she loves poetry,movies and pretty lights, music, dancing and happy smiles, adventures, challenges and the stars at night
At least tell them she is resilient, if nothing else. 
Or tell them she is like a light passing through a  white prism and getting absorbed by a black hole.
She is the black and the white and when she is truly allowed to be herself every brilliant color of a beautiful rainbow.
