i am a hypocrite
for a long time i wanted that word tattooed
somewhere on my body and i still do,
i think.
i cherish my ability to value the
wellbeing of others above my own…
that’s not why i do it
but that’s how it seems, isn’t it?
doesn’t my own lack of motivation
seem so **** selfless?
hypocrites only run into trouble
when they make it obvious.
for some reason, not heading your
own advice makes people very
upset with you.
i do it because
when the fall leaves break
off the trees and there’s
crimson on the sidewalk,
crimson dripping from the palms
of our hands…
well, the winner would be
whoever threw the first punch.
