Everyone likes her, why don't I? <br />You love that teacher, the one whom I despise. <br />You think she's pretty, I think the opposite. <br />You dislike rap, I can't live without it. <br />You wear brand-name clothing, I wear what suits me. <br /> <br />You look for perfection, I look for imperfection. <br />You hate being sad; I love to feel depression. <br />You can't control your emotions, I can't express mine. <br />You are always busy, I have too much free time. <br />You have perfect vision, yet you still can't see what I see. <br /> <br />You speak what's on your mind, I keep my thoughts to myself. <br />You're the life of the party, while I sit on the shelf. <br />You try to be someone you're not, I'll be damned if I change. <br />You become what others say you are, I remain the same. <br />You prefer a cozy chair, I prefer a tree. <br /> <br />You regret all your mistakes, I look forward to the future. <br />You go out on the weekends, I paint a pretty picture. <br />You're not afraid to fall, I've broken my ankle on a flight of stairs. <br />You know the hurt of loved one whose left, I wish those feelings you could share. <br />You give and expect a thank you, I give and feel obliged to give thanks. <br /> <br />You strive for the best, I do enough to get by. <br />You cry when you hurt, and I wonder why. <br />You push yourself to the limit, I don't even try. <br />You think life is a blessing, I say we're waiting to die. <br />You dread the day when Death will arrive, I cannot wait 'till I've said my goodbyes.<br /><br />JohnPaul Aguilar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/opposites-attract-12/
