I'm Completely Backwards

I'm perfectly imperfect

That's what they always say

I'm crookedly straight

But I'm far from gay

I forever speak my mind

Always and all day

My heart is on my sleeve

But guarded all the same

I'm devilishly innocent

My mind is not so tame

I'm dishonestly truthful

But never take the blame

I'm completely backwards

We can never be the same

 

To me upwards is downwards

The sky's my only ground

Your life I can still ruin

It is with in my bounds

I'm depressingly happy

There is no middle ground

My version of earth is flat...

Why should it be round?

My earth is a work of art

With colours everywhere

Your world I broke and ripped apart

Just to prove I don't fit there

I tore it up in little bits

I left the pieces without a care

I'm completely backwards

I'm such a major scare

 

 

I'm nationally local

You can see me all the time

I can disappear into thin air

Leaving you without a rhyme

For I'm melodically harmonious

No brighter than the dullest shine

I'm incomprehensibly real

And yet so hard to find

Pure white to me is simple black

Race is gone and can't come back

I can prove all that I am

A thing to which you surely lack

I'm disrespectfully respectful

My words are always fact

I'm completely backwards

I'll drive you past insane

Then I'll never bring you back

 

I'm illegally legal

Like a drug that you can't sell

I'm contrastingly bendable

In this world of my own hell

I'm resistingly irresistible

My secrets you will never tell

I'm obscenely lovable

In this world in which I fell

I landed in this twisted place

A world of expectations

This world I created on my own

For I'm an undertone of exaggeration

Here I've found my only home

In a backwards world of my creation

And all in all I'm here to say

"I'm completely backwards

In every single way"
