                                   Contradictions

I don't need anyone, but there's people I need,
I don't hate anyone, but there's those I can't stand.
I don't need anything, though there's things I must have,
When I try to plan something things don't go as planned.

I'm as moral as most, yet a criminal too,
I'm a fairly bright chap, but there's much I don't know.
I eat lots of meat, yet I can't kill a thing,
I can't open up, yet I just can't let go.

I'm very perceptive, yet I don't notice shit,
I'm completely transparent, but mysterious as well,
I'm a very shy bloke, yet I never shut up, and
I'm very aloof, yet possessive as hell.

I'm so on the ball, yet I'm easily confused,
I don't like to complain, but I do love a moan,
I'm told I'm good-looking, yet I don't 'get the girls,' and
I've got loads of friends, yet I'm always alone......
