Be a paradox

Be the paradox,
Be the thing no one expects you to be.
Be happy in a sad situation,
Be joyful at a stressful situation.
Be a bodybuilder who studies,
Be a writer who runs.
How bound we are by societal norms,
Where we restrain what we cannot do.
Where the mind is with fear,
And the head cannot be held high,
Be someone you cannot,
In a world where they want you to be someone you can,
Be a paradox.
