The Paradox of Being Me

I want to be loud, but my upbringing and endeavor are silent

I want to keep it privately, yet I want the world to see

I want to be alone, but sometimes it felt “too alone”

I want to be me, but I also want to be loved

I want the world, but I want humility

I want to be intelligent, but I kept calling myself an idiot

I want to keep people close by, but I want them to go away

I want to keep on reading, but I do not want to be overwhelmed

I want to be more, but I also want to be less

I want me, but I do not think it is enough

I want more, and I want less

I want

I want

I want

I kept on wanting

It is enough, and it is not

Paradox and me is like junk food and greasy
