I like when I get good grades in Math
I hate when I don't take a bath
I like when someone says 'hello'
I hate when greens turn yellow

I like when mom gives me money
I hate when people fail to be funny
I like when dog greets me on my return
I hate when there's nothing new to learn

I like whenever I feel happy
I hate that I no longer feel it
I like when someone notices me
I hate when don't know it

I hate that I feel alone
I hate when I get hurt
I hate when mom only feeds me bones
I hate when dad pushes me into the dirt

I hate that my siblings do the same
I hate that no one tries to help
I hate that I'm the one blamed
I hate tying this rope to the shelf

But I like this rope around my neck
