Hating You

Posted by Mo on 22 Mar 2009 in Poetry |

Another one written sometime in 2005. Slightly edited from the original… it just didn’t seem to flow right.

Hating You

I look at you
I hear your voice
I can’t help it
I hate you
And I’m ashamed to admit
That the only thing that you’ve ever done
Was talk to me

But I look at you
And I see in you
The things I hate in me
And I’m ashamed to admit
That I can’t handle
Hearing my own words
Come back to haunt me

Your actions speak loud
I judge you on your life
And I hate you all the more
Because I hate being just as wrong as you

I’m worse, though
Because I know all the things I hate about you
Are all the things I hate about me
And all of the flaws I pick at about you
Are really all the flaws I’m picking at about me
You just don’t know any better
You don’t know you need to change

And so I hate you all the more
For your ignorance and your bliss
And for reminding me of all the things
I hate about me but am too afraid to change
