It's Not That I Hate You
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.
