From My Poem Archive: YOU!

YOU!

Every day I wake up, I'm reminded of how much I look just like YOU.
They say I walk & move just like YOU.
I smile & laugh just like YOU.
Even talk & sound just like YOU.
My skin is dark like YOURS.
Got my eyes from YOU, however sometimes I wish that YOU could see the world through my eyes.
My Ears I got them from YOU, but the way I hear sounds, differs from YOU.
My laid back attitude, I got it from YOU.
Live for today just like YOU.
I Have lots of love for the opposite sex just like YOU.
I get judged by strangers because I look just like YOU.
I get stared at because I look just like YOU.
People talk & gossip about ME because I look just like YOU.
They assume I'm like YOU because I look & act just like YOU.
Looking at YOU is like looking at MYSELF 30 years down the road.
Only difference between US is that YOU already lived YOUR life, MINE’s is just starting.
I AM; ME!

Love, YOU
