Paradox in Things I Write When Im Sad

Is there such a paradox as a calm rush of fear
the aching feeling of despair and an outward smile

the pain in emotions and the numbness in mind
the loneliness and the need to be alone

the simultaneous wish to be dead and learn to live
the craving of help and the denying of support

the firm hug
the soft command
the shouted plea
the whispered anger

the quiet sobs and the loud laughs
a life of paradox is a life not lived
