POEM STARTER

"Deep down, you're really shallow"

Paradox - a phrase which would appear to contradict itself, but makes metaphorical sense. Write a poem that starts and ends with a different paradox.

A Paradox Poem

To be alive is to be dead, which fills me with dread,


To be high is to have hit a low, farther than you can go,


Lies the very cold embrace, of nothingness is great,


Or so I am told.


Yet heart in my hands, here I will stand,


With nothing to find, and nothing to hide,


And everything is light, but nothing is right,


And it just makes me want to cry.
