Acrimony
Location
“Stop talking.”
No, look, i’ve gotten better don’t you see?
“You need to change.”
What was so wrong with just being me?
“Anyone can do it better.”
I know.
“You reek of jealousy.”
Does it matter?
“Just to you.”
I’m sorry.
Hiding behind a brick wall,
Climbing higher as each second goes by.
Sometimes I wonder why I even try?
I’ll never make a difference.
My self-doubt is my own demise.
It’s everyone else’s fault,
never mine.
I have a wonderful life, i should have endless glee.
Sadly, i’m held back by the constant struggle
Of:
“I hate you.”
and
I hate me.
