Poetry: Life's paradox

by Randy Draper

Created on: December 29, 2009

Today, I realized

That I’m neither stupid nor intelligent

But I happen to be both


Of my stupidity

There is much evidence

My undesirable attributes which contribute to all my wrongs

My tendency to overlook and exaggerate

To be unprepared and miscalculate

To feel genuine sorrow and mourn my mistake

But then to wake up in the morrow and forget yesterday’s horrors

Not realizing that although the morning brings new opportunities, change begins within


Now, of my intelligence

Considerably less is to be said

Only that I’m aware

That I’m stupid
