P/N: Yeah, I know, I've made this a dark poem. But I guess all of us can relate to feeling like this in life. Feeling like we expect things and say things but do the opposite. In a verse, it sounds so serious but it can be applied to daily life as well. So read it with a light heart and enjoy :) 

I'm an oxymoron,
I advice but don't apply. 
I believe in truth all the time,
But to myself, I lie. 
I say we should open our hearts,

But mine stays as closed as ever.
"Be alert, be smart", I chant,

Yet unable to be clever. 

Be strong I've tattooed on my arm,

Yet I struggle to not collapse.
I want to paint my life my way,
But still I see colossal gaps. 
"Be calm, it isn't tough"
I whisper to my mind. 
But because of my foolish heart, 
My sanity I can't find.
Don't get the wrong idea,
I'm not a damsel in distress.
I've been a part of catastrophes,
That make others stress.

I drift away from people,
Expect them to still care for me.
Criticise them for not understanding.
When their feelings I cannot see.
I act like I don't need love,
But I'm craving for it so much.
I act like I'm fine being alone,
But there is nothing as such.
I say I'm not hurt inside,
I pretend to be happy as ever. 
I say I'm not hiding anything,
When I've sworn to keep my sorrow suppressed together.
I'm not good at life,
I might turn selfish at times.
I expect things I don't do myself,
Hypocrisy has become my life.
