The contradiction

I am a walking contradiction
But who isn't?
We desire one thing but our actions elicit the truth
Preaching our desires yet with venomous fire.
Closing our ears to the other
While screaming, we just want to be heard!
Let us all learn to concede
Add that to our resolutions.
The New Year is upon us:
To conquer the 'isms in the '18,
Please forgive past transgressions,
Form respectful recipricocal discussions
In order to help one another grow,
View them as lessons
Maybe even blessings
To prosper within
A new year, better you, united as one
Otherwise, we'll all remain a walking contradicting
