Hate Me

Go ahead and hate me
everybody does
with biting anger
for what I am
and  what they aren’t

Who the hell am I
they say
to do and say the things I do
I am me
nothing more, nothing less

Go ahead and tear me down
to build yourself up
with the shattered pieces
of my soul
if it makes you feel better...
