And through all the things that I've put you through, you never walked away
I walked on you time after time, but you always swore you'd stay
Now like the voices in my head that tell me that I'm alone
All I really wish from you, would you please hang up the phone
There's something deep inside of me, maybe it's my pride
I just can't stand for you to see this, can't have you by my side
and will you never tell me you'll be there, just so I know it's true
You see, I just can't face the fact that I'm the one that's hurting you
I'm still standing here after oh so long, it's one thing that you've helped me with
The one I always swore I could trust is the one thing that I've failed again
In my sick way I want to thank you for helping me find out who I am
When I was ready to give up on life, you were my biggest fan
You never pressured me into what you knew I would and couldn't be
You made me see myself for who I was and realise this was me
So I'll turn my back upon you now so you can move on with life
and pray that you will find it in yourself to leave me behind
and somewhere deep inside of me I know
Exactly what I left behind and the emotions that I should show
And with a silent stare i held you in my arms
but I can't just walk away and not know what I've done wrong
So I close my eyes and try to make it end
Just go back in time and just revive what we used to be
and you whispered "how could you do this to me"...
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you.
hate me in ways
yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
Author notes
This isn't the best rewrite, but it's a rewrite of Blue Octobers Hate Me.
I tried to keep the topic similar to the original song, along with the chorus and a few of the lines. I hope you enjoy it.

Hmmm...
I do like this...my only critique would be it seems kind of close to the song, I would've liked to have more from your imagination. But it was still very nice, very well written and structured, and I like how emotional you made the poem. I can tell you're a very good poet, mainly because the parts I saw you made different from the song, I actually liked better than the song itself
Great job and good luck in the contest
