You and I

You are light, I am darkness.

You are smart, I am dumb.

You are big, I am tiny.

You are gorgeous, I am plain.

You are thoughtful, I am thoughtless.

You are careful, I am careless.

You are good, I am evil.

You are strong, I am weak.

You are hers, I am yours.

I have to say I thought the poem kind of simplistic and almost cliched...until the last line. That line alone makes the poem. I had to stop, catch my breath, and reread. Amazing! I like the color contrast, but the lighter color is hard to read. I think if you replace the contrasting words with words that are more subtly opposite, you'd have a really solid poem. My humble opinion. Thanks for sharing!

The opposite of life do attract. But poem are words. In a life we can become wise and foolish in the same sentence. A interesting poem.

This is great, it's the simpleness that I like. :)
I'm all about words, over the quantity of words.

As others have mentioned, I love what you did with the colors and how they contrast the feeling/mood. It surprised me. I really love what you did there, and I'm sure I've seen it before, but just not in the original way in which you used it. It's simple and to the point, as well, which is how I prefer most writing. Thanks a bunch. :]

Sometimes we sure feel this way about ourselves don't we? It's just our own honesty sefl doubt peeking through. And yet when we're lucky, we still belong to someone special. There it is, take me as I am, warts and all.

This was great Laura!
