A name portraying alliteration and symmetry
Written, spoken, or heard: two words of smooth fluidity
I’m as real as one can ever be, this one and only face you’ll see
My emotions on my sleeve, whether despondency or glee
A rushing flood of thoughts is in my maze like brain
They’re a waterfall from heaven: endless pouring rain
Indeed this hectic mind of mine is over analytical
My viewpoints on many things are certainly atypical
Always I’m entirely sure, yet never truly sure at all
At any given instance my set decision may recall
The reason why this happens, myself I wish I knew
Some questions simply can’t be answered, to neither me nor you
Seldom will my smile fade, only once I’m deep in sleep
Like a nyctinastic flower--ends its bloom at sun’s retreat
I’ve found the key to be infinitely happy; it’s not complex at all
A positive attitude to everything; don’t let your smile fall
Every breathing being combats fury, stress, and pain
So a choice it is entirely: which mindset you obtain
Love me, love me not; I’m pleased whichever way
For if one’s “loved” by all, they’d be a soul of gray
A perfect human being: this I’ll never be
My only undertaking is to be the greatest me
