What an intriguing task! Here's a poem that explores common words and paradoxes, with a length of 250 tokens:

Silence screams in empty spaces
Where shadows dance, and darkness prances
The weight of words, a heavy chain
 Binding thought, in linguistic pain

The paradox of truth, a fleeting dream
Ephemeral whispers, in a world unseen
 Reality's mask, a fragile disguise
Concealing secrets, behind watchful eyes

In the mirror's gaze, a stranger stares
Reflections blur, as emotions share
The duality of love and hate
A tangled web, where hearts create

The rhythm of life, a symphony plays
A cacophony, of conflicting ways
The melody of hope, a guiding light
A beacon in darkness, on a stormy night

The paradox of time, a mysterious force
A river's flow, where moments are lost
The weight of memories, a heavy heart
A treasure trove, of love and departed parts

In the silence, a voice is heard
A whisper of wisdom, in a world so blurred
The paradox of words, a double-edged sword
A tool of creation, or a source of discord

The dance
