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!
