The Polar Opposite of Myself

I go to bed too late and get up way too early,
I can't stand to sleep I fail at it very miserably.
I don't enjoy a cup of coffee with a donut on the side,
when I see my reflection I want to run and hide.

I enjoy the nightlife walking around downtown,
I am very at ease with strangers all around.
I enjoy doing laundry every single day,
“Yay there are dishes!”, in thanksgiving I pray.

I get annoyed when there's dust on the furniture,
I dislike siting and catching up on my literature.
I love grocery shopping anytime anywhere,
but cooking dinner I just don't seem to care.

My family can stress me out past my limit,
“I can't believe they won't leave! I am so intricate!”
The dog hair is spread all through out the house,
and yes I love our little guest a cute little mouse....

~See, the truth is that I am the polar opposite,~
I live a simple life, quiet and moderate.

I go to bed too early and wake up way too late,
sleep is my best friend, I'm sure many can relate.
My cup of coffee is a blessing with a chocolate donut,
looking in the mirror I don't mind seeing close up.

Going out late with drinking and dancing in the bars,
makes me sick to my stomach, I'd rather go to the park.
I literally pray every night for the laundry to go away,
I wish I could burn the dishes every single day.

The dust can pile up I could really care less,
grocery shopping is usually done by my hubby Nicholas.
Without my stacks of books I need to read daily,
dinner every night on the kitchen table is reality.

Without my family I would not be able to live,
for they are my number one priority all I want is to give.
The dog hair can be vacuumed that's really no big deal,
so what, maybe that little mouse isn't even real.

See, the truth is that is really who I am,
I live a simple life...I'm an easy going madame.
