Oxymoron

O X Y M O R O N
Oxymoron, what a strange delight,
Two words, in opposition, that unite,
A paradox, that's both odd and bright,
Bringing a smile, in the middle of the night.

Silent screams, and jolly tears,
Dark light, and humble brags,
Peaceful war, and sweet sears,
A puzzle, with endless jags.

A world of contradictions, we see,
Where the impossible, becomes reality,
And words, that we thought were free,
Become bound, by this literary novelty.

It's a game, that challenges the mind,
A challenge, that's both easy and hard to find,
A test, that leaves us both blind and kind,
And makes us question, what we thought we knew, every time.

So let us embrace, this oxymoron,
And marvel, at the wonders it has shown,
For in its contradictions, we will find,
A new perspective, that's ours and only ours to own.
