Life in Peace

Oh listen little one, For I have something to say, Your words and actions, have affected me in many ways. Do you not see, it's from you I run, myself I hide, Your character I shun. How can you think, for whatever reason, you can act like such, and expect no treason? Are you too blind, are you fooled by self thought?, to see your true self, and how you rot? In ways you are nice, and so quickly evil, like two sides of a coin, absolutely mental. Your arrogance, and your ignorance make you who you are, and the mask you wear. Why such lies, to win false praise?, why act one way, never to be brave? Your malicious, and manipulative nature, make me isolate myself, hide from your character. Always for approval, you forever seek, as the way you are, none shall you receive from me. If there is one side, there is another, One you know well, One you cannot cover. It's in your nature, to be a hypocrite, though you cannot change it, you blindly accept it. It's from this I run, It's from this I hide, never can I stand, One with two sides. Push it down I try, Force to forget, I make my attempt to accept, over and over again. No success, never a victory, you're still the same, and forever will be. I hear your hateful words, even when you do not speak, that rend the heart, and steal its beat. You're eyes are cold, to match your piercing glare, a broken soul, lost in judgemental stare. Hopefully one day, you shall see, when we say, "that's what we mean". Reflect on yourself, see the damage done, Your hand stained red, by cold blood. And turnover shall you, a new leaf, and try to then, live life in peace.
