Checkerboard Poem by Airda Jones

I have a checkerboard personality
For everything, there is an opposite
There's a black and there's a white
See if you can recognize it...

I'm black
When my mood turns angry
I'm white
When I make others happy

I'm black
When I'm impatient in my ways
I'm white
When I give a second chance to everyday

I'm black
When I feel unworthy
I'm white
When I let others know what they mean to me

I have a checkerboard personality
For everything, there is an opposite
There's black and there's white
Just so you recognize it.
