Poem Title: Oxymoron
Written by: Luchetta (Cookee) Manus
She swims in the same waters she drowns in
Her beauty a stain
She swims in the same waters she drowns in
Her heart is flooded with love
The dams break from her pain
She swims in the same waters she drowns in
She is filled with both hate and passion beyond what can be measured.
She swims in the same waters she drowns in
A warrior, yet peasant
Repulsive yet pleasant
Mightily passive aggressive
She swims in the same waters she drowns in
She's a gullible genius
A woman of great wealth, who is hopelessly penniless
Common sense yet senseless
She swims in the same waters she drowns in
She's reckless yet explicit
She's a walking contradiction
