Contradictions

Imperfect
As they are
So am I, even if I don't think so

Judgement
So quick, so sharp
Alas is a blade with two points

Differences
We're all equal
But I won't accept, what I don't want

Expectations
Poisoned reality
The unavoidable, inevitable letdown

Humanity
We are lifted, raised up
Yet burdened in every way by this gift

Hope

We need, yearn and know it

Yet struggle to hear and decipher its languages

Our future

Self-fulfilling prophecies
I guess we may never learn
