STORY STARTER

Create a character with contradicting traits.

An example of contradicting traits in a character could be a criminal with strong moral codes, or a teacher who hates children.

The Polite Neanderthal

He was graceful while holding doors And my throat A walking contradiction sweet and full of vindication silent violence Chess moves logical yet absurd Clinging to every word push then pull then repeat Lovebomb, devalue, ghost, block, delete See what you don’t know at first Is the Brilliant Neanderthal Gets off on the hurt Calculates and plots perfect timing Waiting to strike when you’re light is shining Not once did he raise his voice or demand I flew willingly to this Idiots Neverland Becoming it’s Tiger Lily with pride in hand Savage enough to Win at all costs Didn’t care how it came across Wild things aren’t mean to be tamed eventually the moth would find the flame His & her lies instead of closets Thinking it was an equation And I might actually solve it Lesson upon lesson 3 cycles in fact Exposing the shadows, the sickness of lack reflected back and served as a snack Egomaniac with an inferiority complex Emptied my cups & moved onto the next Funny though how brokenness saved me Fear of love, abandonment, rejection Soul stripped from physical Redirection A tragedy of epic proportions Cracked open my chest Released from matrix distortions What a fine show we put on my friend I’ll catch you on the next one Where I’ll be on the serving end She survived “Forgiveness - Level 10”
