If I were to tell you to wear a red shirt, you’d wear a green one.
If you thought that I
looked happy, you would ask me “What’s wrong?”
If you saw me start to walk towards you, you’d walk from me.
You and I live in a world of opposites, an expression of
life. I don’t know what ever happened to
make us communicate in such ways that deflect the others’ idea, but somehow,
somehow, that little bit of craziness makes sense when I’m with you.
Somehow.
That world of opposites, isn’t really opposite as long as we
both live in that dimension together. Without you, without me, I would just be
a chaotic ball of nothing, but somehow,
somehow,
when we collide, we both aren’t nothing anymore.
That green shirt
looks so much better on you anyway, and really,
when I looked happy, the insides were hurting as surely as
heaven.
Although I walk towards you and you walk away, if you turn
the image of yourself upside down, walking from me turns to walking to me.
Walking from me turns to walking to me.
This is a really cool piece. While I was reading it I couldn't decide if it was a poem, or creative piece, but defiantly not an essay. I really like how at the end you bring the examples back up to what you talked about in the beginning. I was cool how you added little paragraphs in between your creative examples.
