So much has changed since I fell out of favor with myself

Every one is my competition,
Ever since I've made myself so hard to comprehend.
Everything threatens my position,
It's odd to think that all these foes were once my friends.

Compared to me you are a bundle of emotions.
Compared to you I am as caring as a wall of bricks.
And while my words fall out of my mouth as harsh as bullets,
Nothing feels as foreign as your tears upon my skin.
