IN CONTRAST
by
Anthony Rain Starez

There’s always two sides
I swear it’s true
A side of me that’s bright
And a side that’s deeply blue

I’m an extrovert in day
An introvert at night
Sometimes I’m blind
Most times I have sight

I’m a man that wants to be the rain
Yet, really, I love the Sun
My spirit remains free
But I’m living under a gun

I’m strong for all to see
Confident for their eyes
They’ll never see me bleed
So perfect is my lie

I’m invisible to most girls
So easy do they turn away
To some, they can’t stop staring
It’s shocking, the price I pay

There is no way to understand
This life I’ve made on wheels
So much more than physical
So much more that needs to heal
