Who I’m Not
The opposite of me would most likely be
A blonde haired boy with
eyes like the sea
His favorite subject would maybe be Math
This would set him on a
very different path
He wouldn't have interest in writing or art
Of poetry communities he'd
have no part
He'd marry a girl he met in high school
It would be blonde girls that
make him drool
He would graduate college and
get a degree
His big slobby dog would be pedigreed
He would have absolutely
no use for cats
They wouldn't like him either
how
bout
that?
He'd be boastful and proud
and annoyingly loud
He'd have lots of friends and
enjoy a crowd
He'd probably like yellow
(because I like blue)
He'd hate to be mellow and
want everything new
He would definitely be a
miser with money
He'd drink lots of coffee
drizzled with honey
He would act like a snob if he
met homeless Bob
He'd work every day at a
very
boring
job
My polar opposite is the average Joe Blow
He would get into the fast lane and drive super slow
You probably see him a few times a day
He's the guy who cares not
if
he
has
any
say
He might be racist and homophobic too
He'd point out all he
thinks wrong with you
He might get on your nerves
with God and religion
He'd be less interesting than
your average pigeon
I'm not saying he would be a bad guy
But don't be surprised if you
catch him in a lie
I've got morals as well as some attitude
While he would be mean
and possibly rude
I've painted quite a picture of who
I am not
Pretty much the epitome of all
that I've fought
I do have my faults.
Oh yeah,
by the dozen
I've been known to be just a
little bit brazen
I've got issues like anxiety and ADD
I've fallen in love with men
bad for me
I hold my cat higher in regard
than most humans
I've carelessly traipsed off and
left my sister fumin'
But I certainly don't wish to be
opposite me
It would be more fun to fall out
of
a
tree!
Doppleganger
Here I stand
Hand in hand
With my double
The business man
Confident, affluent, valiant, bold
All of the things I withhold
Here we are
Eye to eye
With my double grinning, sly
His winning smile among the best
Surrounds himself
With the things I cant get
There we were
In the sand
On a plot of my doubles land
He cracks his lips
And begins to speak
"Hello, my name is Neverweak."
