Perfect Contradiction

Thank you for the contradiction
The do as I say, not as I do’s
The teaching through acts
The mind games with words

You made me who I am
Then complain about what you see
Yet here I am at a low
You not giving what I need

Anger, hatred, criticism
Is it a twisted game?
Love and understanding
Are they alien to you?

You gave me everything
Yet restricted its use
How can I function?
Whilst dreaming of a noose

You destroyed my sanity
Just leave me be
Bottling up my vanity
Emotions don’t flee
