Paradox

By Anuradha Kumari

Who am I
Maybe a paradox
I want freedom
And miss the cage
I run away
But keep coming back
I want to do this
But is it OK?
I want to do that
But am I adequate?
I want to be kind
But does it scare me
I am loyal
But can i trust?
I am beautiful
Do I believe it?
I'm intelligent
Oh really?
I'm nice
Isn't it just people pleasing?
I'm fine
Oh aren't there hidden tears in these eye?
I don't care
Oh why does my chest hurt again?
My mind is blank
Oh Isn't it just tired of burdens?
I'm going with the flow
Oh do I even like this direction?
I love myself
Oh so many flaws?
I'm laughing
Oh but am I happy?
