An Ongoing RivalryI have an ongoing rivalry with the lightswitch in my room. We battle every night, and the light switch wins most of the time. If you're an English major or just a smart student, I bet you're thinking that I can't sleep at night or I need the light on or something. This isn't the case, although it might make for a classic crazy person story where the protagonist is presumed to be out of his or her mind, and then they somehow end up saving the day and getting the soulmate of their dreams to kiss them passionately in the rain or on the beach with their toes in the warm sand... But in my story, this surely isn't the case.An Ongoing Rivalry in General Non-Fiction More Like This

This battle is pointless,
My heart's gonna tear.

Some say his heart's polar.
But when he says he loves me,
I fear he's Bipolar.
You though, what are you?
Is there one word to use to say?
I'm afraid not.
There's much to many words for Rae.

Where you both try to win.
It won't matter who I choose,
