THE REFLECTION

There's so much I want to say to you, but I don't know how. I hate that I'm afraid of you, when we're the same person. Nobody cares about how we feel, "why are we enemies?" We should be on the same team, holding down our energy. But you don't care for me, you only want the worst for me. "Why do you stand with me, when you don't want to be?" You can admit it, you hate me. Just say it, because I get it. We're not the same in any way. You don't want success, you want less. You don't want to be great, you want stress. You want me to hide inside my nest, without me trying to be my best. So the world can pass me by, while I'm stuck inside the trenches. I can't let that happen. I'm tired of losing because of you. You've never done nothing for me, you only sit back and watch me fail, so you can tell me that I'm worthless. You're worse than pastors in churches, I never thought my own reflection would be my worst enemy. I use to love you, now I just want you gone. I've almost took my life multiple times because of your lies. My family thinks I'm a psychopath for overthinking my little thoughts. I don't know why I have to be apart of you, I just want you gone. You've destroyed my life with everything you've done. My relationships are dead from me living inside my head. And it's all because of you, it seems like a joke to you; You don't have to deal with the consequences like I do. I'm the one made as the fucking criminal, and a liar, while You can get away with murder. You live Inside my reflection, no one can see you like I do. Everyone sees the happy side of me, because I don't want to reveal the truth. Because if I do, everyone will think that I'm you. Evil within the spirit, I've never been. I've always been that good soul who gets treated like shit. Good men always finish last, while people like you get to dance in confetti. The world already thinks I'm crazy, I don't give a fuck, come get me. You made me this way, now you have to pay the price for what you taught me. I can't stand you, I just wish you'll die. But in truth, I need you to survive. I hate you, but I can't live without you, I don't want you, but I love you.
