A man stands before me with
eyes contradicting one another:
If one shows pain,
the other comps with joy.
If one looks back,
the other pulls forward -
If one draws from the past,
the other paints a future
If one sees a problem,
the other an opportunity.
If the first tries to drag
the second creates an uplift -
If one lacks passion
the other exudes vision
If emptiness befalls on one,
the other sparkles optimism.
If one shows despair
the other beams hope.
If one appears careless, lazy
the other emblems urgency.
If one draws sympathy from folks,
the other encourages them instead.
Against this society's mirror
I see a man. I see me.

Absolutely loved this one. You do have a talent for observation and then conveying the same through words. How about exploring the writing option and getting paid for it ?
