Hate me because you’re insecure
Hate me because you’re hiding
Hate me because you don’t really want more
And because I see it in your eyes

Hate me because I called you out
Hate me because of how clearly I see
Hate me because you want to sit and pout
And because you know it’s a desperate plea

Hate me because I tried to help
Hate me because I can’t not care
Hate me because you ignore what you felt
And because the way you’ve been treating us is unfair

Hate me because you don’t trust me
Hate me because you didn’t give me a chance
Hate me because I’m free
And because you’re in a trance

If it makes you feel better, hate me.
Another poem based on my reaction to my friend's unhealthy relationship; after they were confronted about pushing all their friends away.

Mad
I’m mad because nothing is changing
I’m mad because you were left hanging
I’m mad because of the tears on your face
And your smile once again glued in place

I’m mad because there’s nothing I can do
I’m mad because I don’t know if it’s true
I’m mad because she jerks you around
And I can’t make a sound

I’m mad because you’re not
I’m mad because you “forgot”
I’m mad because of the lies
And because you’re breaking the ties
The first poem I'm proud of.  It's deeply personal and has to do with watching one of my best friends self-destruct from a romantic relationship.
