Confessions of a Hypocrite!

Oxymoron-ized!

At times I'm all by myself in the skies

Loneliness might be pricking me hard,

But I will not barter my flight

The ground might seem far below

Yet on it I'll have my Hawk sight!

 

I might step willingly into your chambers

Create an ambience of comfort for awhile,

But then I love my privacy too

Once I sense you prying too much

Won’t think twice to run away from you!

 

Oh! I do sympathize sometimes,

People define “care” as they want to

But I’m allergic to “sob story”

I'm miles away from alleviating

FYI “EMPATHY” isn't my cup of tea!

 

I am not robust or impervious

I am mayhem, don't trust your opinions

I could be as fragile as a dream

Or I be heartless and completely oblivious

To all the odds and the extremes!

 

I wish to live my life as a vagabond

No strings attached, none to justify

But then I crave for shelter too

The basics of life I choose not to ignore

But then I love my liberty too!

 

Yes, I try to escape from life,

Yes, I keep conning myself and the rest

Every month, every hour, every minute

But,

I'm not ashamed to confess like the rest

I was, I am and I will be a HYPOCRITE!

We have all been hypocrites at some time or another. Though few will admit that they have been. Most of the time people will accuse everyone else of being hypocritical and then they turn around and do the exact same things. Everyone has been one at some point, so I say just admit it is part of human nature. It's not ideal, but many forms of human nature have a dark side. Thank you for sharing with me again!

At one level, perhaps it is not always a bad thing to be a hypocrite.
As we grow and learn, we learn that we were wrong about certain things.
We can appear hypocritical when we first express our change of opinion,
but at least we have matured. Thats one positive aspect of it.

[Frozen Eyes]

I agree. Thank U for the review, means a lot :)

Oxymoron-ized - Frozen-eyesd - same thing (here). This is dark. Its like a manifesto of a pantomime villain in an overbearing/overacting way but there is truth in it indeed because the greatest thing that will annoy us as a person and that we will pick up on is exactly our own faults, in others.
You have your finger on the pulse of the human condition here FE. Well written piece.

[Frozen Eyes]
