I Hate

I hate how

You cause tears in us to make yourself happy

When you are the one crying inside.

I hate how

You tear us down to build yourself up

When you are the one that is broken inside.

I hate how

You try to hurt us by blaming us for everything

When you only manage to hurt yourself.

I hate how

You push us down in attempts to pick yourself up

When you are the one that keeps falling.  

I hate how

You desperately try to find fault in us

When you are the one that is most flawed.

I hate how

You think you are better than the rest of us

When you know you are the worst one.



I haven't been able to confront you

About how much I hate you until now.

I want to stare into the face of my enemy.

When I do, you look so familiar...

And then I realize I am looking at myself.

Does that mean I hate....myself?

Am I my own worst enemy?
