The Walking Contradiction Poem by Her Name Is Taylor

The Walking Contradiction



My name is Taylor & i'm
A Walking Contradiction:
Im a Good girl plottin some
internal evil mission

People see my life and they wonder
'What happened to you? '
'I thought you were all good,
im startin to think your soul
was split in two'
See, my fate was handed to me
on a gilded platter
I thought I would be one thing
but my thoughts didn't matter

I got caught up in a different
kind of life
My heart was confused, but
people only saw it as lies

I can't help that i'm
not what you expected
My head screams for help
as life gets more hectic
I don't know what to do
when people say choose
I was born in the church
but raised in the hood
so what am I to do?
Pick what over what?
Life is but a passing season
and im tryna find the reason
for this rainfall of differences
im tryna find out what the difference is-
between me and my environment

What's the solution for- me?
When am i blinded by lies,
and when can I see?
Maybe my life is a puzzle
no one can complete...

As I walk on the cobblestones of
confusion or sit there as my
tears try to wipe away this pollution
I'll work on this contradiction called, me.
And be two sides of one beautiful peace.

A poignant expression of emotional detachment, I don’t walk your shoes but I understand your feet.
