Unbalanced

We play and then fight I'm wrong and you're right You're happy I'm sad I'm content and you're mad You're hot and I'm cold I'm yes and you're no We go up and then down You swim while I drown I'm short and you're tall You stand as I fall I'm young and you're old You're fast and I'm slow I'm weak and you're strong I'm short and you're long I'm in and you're out You're quiet and I'm loud I speak through your silence I choose love while you choose violence I'm deep but you're shallow One is empty and the other is hollow You question and accuse I justify and excuse You dispute and attack I leave then come right back Someone is broken The other is amused You continue to win I will continue to lose

Jada, your poem is a poignant exploration of the tumultuous dynamics in a relationship. The stark contrasts vividly depict the imbalance and emotional roller coaster. The juxtaposition of emotions, actions, and characteristics paints a vivid picture of discord. The closing lines, capturing the essence of brokenness and amusement, leave a lingering impact. Your words convey the complexity of such connections. A powerful, emotive expression of relationship dynamics. - Blessings, Daniel
