Backwards Person

I am a backwards

person

in everything I do;

what seems

like the right thing for me,

is probably completely

wrong for you.

.

I would rather

finish last,

than to come in

at first-place;

and I enjoy putting

makeup on my feet,

while completely

ignoring my sock-covered face.

.

I prefer

a tiny room,

than a large,

mansion-style house;

and I am much

happier wearing

pajamas to a formal dinner,

than my finely-pressed blouse.

.

I am a backwards

person

in everything I do;

on my feet, I wear a hat,

and on my head,

I wear a patent-

leather shoe.

.
I end my day

in the beginning,

and begin my day

at the end;

when I am supposed to

drive on a straight road,

it is then that

make my own bend.

.
When I am stopped

by a police officer,

I smile because

it surely makes my day;

yet, when I get

an award of any kind,

the depression

is difficult to keep at bay.

.
People do not

understand me,

so they judge

what they know not;

bullying makes them feel better

about their weaknesses;

so, I guess

they must have a lot.

.
I am a backwards

person

in everything I do;

I know because everyone

tells me so,

but I think their forward ways

are actually backwards, too.
