My Complicated Life-Juxtaposition

Down through the years of my complicated life, I have been a Weakling. But I have also been a strong warrior displaying much Strength. I have experienced Love, but I have taken a roll in the hay with Hate also. I have prepared food for my Friends,yet I I have eaten food at my Enemy’s table. My family has never got me, nor understood me. They made me feel like an Ugly Duck- ling. But they also made me feel like a Beauti- ful Swan as well. That alone, was very confusing to a child. I guess you can say we had a Love- Hate relationship. My relationships with the opposite gender were interesting too. They would often Break my heart, then Mend It and put my heart back together again.I felt like Humpty Dumpty. Everything I've been through in life, Big or Small made me the person I am today. Sometimes I am Happy, and I'm Sad too, but that's me. Accept me, or reject me, that my friend is up to you. 11/18/2020 Contest: Juxaposition Sponsor: Silent One
