contradiction – Flicker of Thoughts

Same But Different

There was a time
I let myself be ordinary
because
I could not endure more pain
caused by striving to be outstanding
In doing so
I saw my heart calcify as a stone wall
Then I realised
Being ordinary and being outstanding
are two evils just the same

Reality Wrapped in a Dream

I always dream to have a house by the lake.
Funny thing is, I hate slugs and mosquitoes.
Ironically there is almost always a trade-off.
So, it’d be best to enjoy what the lake offers
in a bubble wrapped living from a distance.
