At least I know my flaws.

At least I can admit that I’m

Loud

Obnoxious

Manipulative

A liar

Needy

Greedy

Glutinous beyond compare

(Seven sins rewritten)

 

At least I know how much it hurts

You and all the others

When I tweak the truth

To fit the narrative

You’re forced to help me craft

With each and every word

At least I know

That no one hates me

As much as I hate me

That is

Until I mention how much I do

 

At least I’m fully conscious

Sometimes

When my feet drag

With purpose

To my nearest fix

And then drag back

To fix it

 

At least I punish myself

For each and every flaw

And at least-

 

Oh god

Please god

No

Don’t become like me

Ignore your flaws

Each and every one

 

At least at the end of your list

(Bossy

Entitled

Nosey

Manipulative

Egotistical

Self pitying

Cruel)

Sits ignorance

 

So you’re happy

And bossy, entitled, manipulative, cruel

And happy

Stay that way

Because I might know my flaws

But if there’s a winner

I’m sure it’s you.
