on the contrary

once in a while i will be hitting you over the head with some words - - some of mine, some of others, some anonymous- but regardless of their origin - they will not be labeled as such -- no 'essays', no 'poems', no 'stories' - MAYBE an ode! but that is as far as i will go!
because i don't like to categorize or label anything, i cannot logically put any series of words in a - if you will - literary box! that would just be a formality; stereotypical - two things i loathe.
therefore i simply give you words...

on the contrary

i think you lie
call it omission
call it subversion
it may even be a slight form of neglect
but that is what you do
maybe it is genuine
maybe it is sincere
it comes so easily to you via the pen
but your circumstance contradicts

i think i trust
call it conviction
call it loyalty
it may even be a slight form of oblivion
but that is what i do
maybe it is innate
maybe it is predictable
it comes so easily to me via the heart
but my ability contradicts

so there you have it
you vs. me
west vs. east
head vs. heart
a match made in phenomenon
both sinners in our own right
one willing to be absolved
one willing to be crucified
well, the say opposites attract, right?
