You help me see who I don't want to be.

Thank you for being there
in your own unique way.
I wasn't aware
of how you shape my day.
Though we often disagree,
you help me see who I don't want to be.

If we were stranded
on a desert isle
or a distant planet—
what a hideous trial!
You'd be in one corner, and in the other, me;
you help me see who I don't want to be.

You push buttons I didn't even know I had.
One minute with you, and I feel like going mad.
