#YouandI

I like you,

I also hate you,

Such contradictory feelings is what I have for you.

Who are you anyway?

I ask myself countless times, why can't I be like you?

I look up to you from too far a distance.


I learn to talk like you,

Act like you,

Also dress like you.



You are the spotlight,

A brilliant light encompasses your very being.

I am always in the background,

staring at the light that shines around you.

I look up to You,

You look down on us from the stage you stand like a king you are.

Such elegances I crave for,

Such beauty I long for.

I wallow in self-pity,

wishing desperately to be You.

I ask, why You?

Why not I?

I love and hate You.
