It Really Bothers Me

It really bothers me

When people are cruel so they can feel better about what they lack

Hey!

No one's perfect!

You certainly aren't!

You're petty and small.

I hate that.



It really bothers me

When people are snide

Hey!

You're not better than me

We're equals

Stop acting so proud

I hate that



It really bothers me

When people are hypocrits

Hey!

You're allowed to get mad at me for this?

But I can't use that judgement against you back?

What makes you worthier?

I hate that



It really bothers me

When parents assume THEIR children are perfect

Hey!

I'm a honour roll student

And on the weekend I get drunk!

So do your children whom I know

I hate that



It really bothers me

When you laugh about my faults to my face

Hey!

That hurts,

I'm right here!

I CAN hear you!

I hate that



It really bothers me

When people complain forever about wanting something

Hey!

When you got it you didn't want it

Why spend so much energy?

It couldn't have been that important

I hate that



It really bothers me

When I can't say these things out loud when they're important

Hey!

I'm weak

But I'd like to be able to vouch for my friends

And tell that snobby bitch she's no better than us

I hate that



It really bothers me

When I can say all of these things on paper

Hey!

Because I know that I do them

I'm going to be honest

I'm human

Sometimes I hate me

I don't actually hate anything or anyone. I believe in forgiveness.
