Horrendous Human


 

You have the capacity to become the cruelest human imaginable

It happens more often than anyone could admit

You credit yourself with everyone else’s successes as if you were the rock upon which all humanity was built

Humanity is evil and at heart you have that equally inside you

I would report you but no one would believe me

You’ve built up that reputation and it’s detestable.

I hope I never become the way you’ve tragically turned out.

I would rather die and spare my loved ones of the fate you’ve cursed me with.

I love you, and it makes everything worse.

If I were brave I could hate you

But at your hands I crumble

And someday I will break

I could hope that you would destroy yourself first, but I’m sure you already have.

It’s times like this when you are as good as gone.
