Hate the Haters

Comparatively you will never be like me
        You do not have the necessary personality
     Your judgements about me are undefined
        Being equipped without the stronger mind
     Jealousy is the ugliest character defect
        To hate on me does not earn you respect
     People like you are societies negative breed
        Never a helping hand just one held out in greed
     Trying so very hard for your voice to be heard
        But there is no substance behind your word
     Stubbornly you just continue on trying
        Everyone else already knows you are lying
     All that you do just makes me stronger
        I doubt you'll even be around much longer
     So next time that you may decide to attack
        I'll be right behind you so better watch your back

Bravo Brian you have written such a powerful poem and sadly much I can relate to during my journey on soup especially in my early days and i do think a lot of issues are down to jealousy . Am adding it to my faves:-) Good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx
