Optimistic Cynic

I am a cynical optimist
an optimistic cynic
A hopeless believer
aiming for faith and redemption

A seeker of truth
and of genuine connection
Escapee of society’s
inauthentic direction

A dogmatic introvert
with an open heart and mind
An inward extrovert
just not the outgoing kind

A mixture of qualities
a heterogeneous flux
Striving for homeostasis
resisting the paradox
