Fragile

I am strong

I am capable

I am the culmination of struggle and ambition existing simultaneously

Each moment bursting forth violently like starved lungs

Gasping for air

Grasping for surface

I am formidable

I am sharp

I am dangerous and afraid, loud, shrill

Saying much and nothing

Seeking out wars while longing for kind comfort and gentleness

Deposing reason

Opposing forces

I am a contradiction, a stranger, a paradox

I am fragile
