Hypocrisy

I’m selfish.
I insulted you.
I disrespected you.
I won’t listen to your opinion.
I don’t respect your opinion.
I read into things too much.
I assume things about what you’re saying without asking or clarifying.
I align you with other people.
I say things specifically with the intention of hurting you.
I think you’re an idiot.
The universe revolves around me.

Yes!
This is completely true!
Oh.
Wait.
Turn the pronouns around.
Make the “I”s into “you”s
And the “you”s into “me”s.
THEN everything will be true.

  • Nice one, I felt the hate, or love, I'm not sure. I know I felt something, and i felt it strong.

    I loved it, keep the ink rolling,

    I really liked how you turned the poem around on the other person. The last line has a crazy source of power in this poem and
    I liked how you made the lines choppy at the end. keep writing! this was great

    very insightful poem!

    I am wedded to structure so your writing style really differs from mine. I love the thinking of this poem and your nice way with words.
    I can't think of anyway to improve it. love it -jeff
