I Am An Enigma

by TheSullenPoet - Not entered

I am an enigma
No one knows the answer
To the question
Inscribed on my forehead

I am blatantly honest with my lies
To everyone I see I do tell
They trust me as they should
For I am not aware of the pretenses I support

I am a cynic
I am an idealist
I am a conservative
I am an extremist
I am a conformist
I am an individualist

What I have said is a falsity
What I have said is the truth
But you paid no heed
You'll think of me only what I show you
For the hidden is a mystery to my own eyes
I am an enigma
