Hypocrite

Don’t act like you know how I feel
Don’t pretend that you care as your life steers
You into further undeniable regret
Life gives you countless chances
But you destroy them without a single repent
Why are you self absorbed? You treat life as if it’s a party and you get unlimited dances
With people who have ten times the dignity you posses at a mere glance
Don’t throw your life or your irresistible spice away when you could be so much more
Just open your judgmental mind
To the unhidden door
Of the beauty you’ve already dismissed
Don’t be shallow, be wise
With your ever growing desires
Find a way to melt your cold heart of ice
The cost I know will be quite a price
But don’t ever say that the love I bring you does not suffice
Because you are the one to blame
For your constant repulse at the sound of my name
Your shame and the ever present pain that morphs your face
Defines the essence of your very own game
It’s the reason why you can’t see hope when you look my way
Next time you decide to criticize my life
Just remember how yours lay in ruins of the very war you started
You inflicted the misery, you provoked the anguish, and you caused the sorrow
So don’t look back now, just be ready for tomorrow
When reality pounds its cold, hard, relentless fists on your door
And rudely awakens you from the twisted dream
That leads you to believe your endless flaws
Have been wiped clean
That your life is perfection, and unbroken at the seams
So don’t shy away from the light of truth shining its way through the cracks of broken honesty
Don’t look away from your past mistakes, despite how costly
They were
Look at them in pure awe, knowing that this is your final farewell
And that nobody, not even you should dwell
On the darkest of memories that make your heart shutter
But keep them in the back of your mind
So before you utter
Even one word of persecution that
It holds you back
And you think to yourself
I gotta get my life on track
And stop stabbing you in the back
The back I turned on and never caught
After your long fall of hopelessness, when I knew you were distraught
So, just remember when you’re about to blame me in an argumentative fit
Don’t be a hypocrite
