Contradiction
To say I am one thing is too simply
lying to myself so dubiously:
I am enthralled by world economics
While my wallet is brimming with cobwebs.
I possess a solid tongue for coding
While I’ve never been fluent at typing.
While I amble in my bed constantly
My teachers hail my productivity.
I constantly try out for musicals
While I can’t dance fluidly nor sing well.
I am proud to be an American
While I denounce my Filipino race.
The definition of contradiction-
A red seesaw in equilibrium.
Once I thought I was an exception, but
that was probably a contradiction.
