Human Magnetism

A comparison between friendships, happiness, and magnets.

Some folks are magnetic
Attracting others with looks, power, and money
While others are prophetic
Seeing what the future holds and how it's running

Still others are unshaken
By challenges, trials, and all manner of loss
I am one who hastens
To find happiness while never counting the cost

Happiness is short-lived
But, then again, so is the rest of one's life
Sadly, we shake our hips
As we dance ever closer to the devil's knife

I may have odd interests
Like Hitchcock movies, Fender Strats, and Dragnet
But I have realized
Not everyone is meant to be a magnet

Trouble is with magnets and people, they repulse as well as attract. That's the human dilemma though, ain't it, figuring out which is which.

I'm a natural repulser, which one are you?

I think that everyone is at least a little bit of both. In my case, at the time, I was more on the repulser end, but now I feel less like that. Thank you for your insight, Fergul. It really got me thinking.
