Contrast

 
           
Contrast

Dark, light, happy or sad
Totally sane or just a bit mad
Euphoric, or feeling blue
I’m in control, what do I do?

I’m so clueless, I know it all
Problems so big, they’re actually small
So mixed up, it makes much sense
Completely chilled, wrapped in suspense

No discussion, let’s negotiate
Always punctual, I arrive late
All jumbled, it’s sorted now
I’m negative, yet positive somehow

I live for the day all through the night
It all appears so black and white
I have won, yet finished last
Am I insane or is it contrast?

Freestyle poetry. Each stanza is a quatrain and I follow an AABB rhyme scheme.
