Enigma

maybe I am as unpredictable

as a magic eight ball

or even as complex as

a million pieced jigsaw puzzle

maybe my moods are as 

deep as the depths of the ocean 

with alternation and cycles

of mixed emotions

maybe my thoughts are

motley and like a potpourri 

you try so hard to solve me

as you would a conspiracy theory

if you thought that I've come 

undone into dissonant fragments

I still put myself back together,

although the process is enigmatic

if you assumed that my body is made

for one reason, it’s made to conquer 

if you thought that I was too mysterious to 

see-through, you could've just waited longer

I am the same bones

with the same skin,

I'm as real as I once was, 

more now than I've ever been

I have the same shade of blood 

and the same colored eyes,

playful in my energy

with an intellectual mind

it's not that I've changed, maybe it's

you who took time to understand me

or that you started paying 

attention and began listening
