Yin Yang

Like the flip side of a coin..
And truth be told from a lie.
I shout for heads you go tails.
Why do you laugh when I cry?

When I smile you always frown..
I like the cold, you like the heat.
We are completely different..
I'm too honest and you cheat.

When I'm up you are down..
We can't agree to disagree.
Must everything be so difficult?
I love you and you hate me!

Like the dark side of the moon..
You can never see what's really there.
Where I'm open like a book..
You play dirty and I play fair!

I like cats and you like dogs..
You like old and I like new.
But there's one thing we agree on..
That's the way we rock our tunes!

At least we have our music..
Finally agreeing on one thing.
Though I'm for metal and you're for rock..
I like to scream and you like to sing!

So that's our little Yin Yang..
It's universal and abstract.
Though hard work at the best of times..
It's proof that opposites can attract!

Hi Derani, I agree, opposites do attract, until they distract fact...to friction!
