You make-fun of people, who are not like you,
And you lie, cheat, and hurt others,
Just so you can be superior.

But what you have not realized,
Is that you are only hurting yourself,
All the insults you through at others,
And all the crude remarks,
Is just a reflection of you,
And what your really are.

You try to make your "perfection" stand out,
So everyone around can see,
You do this by being malicious and shameful,
To your friends and classmates.

You make fun of other people,
But they do not make fun of you,
And still you do not realize,
That you are just fighting a battle against yourself,
But you cannot and will not win,
Unless you someday change.

Fighting Your Own Battle

Topic: Lifepoems

You criticize what you don't know,
You make-fun of people, who are not like you,
And you lie, cheat, and hurt others,
Just so you can be superior.

But what you have not realized,
Is that you are only hurting yourself,
All the insults you through at others,
And all the crude remarks,
Is just a reflection of you,
And what your really are.

You try to make your "perfection" stand out,
So everyone around can see,
You do this by being malicious and shameful,
To your friends and classmates.

You make fun of other people,
But they do not make fun of you,
And still you do not realize,
That you are just fighting a battle against yourself,
But you cannot and will not win,
Unless you someday change.

I know someone like this... only he took cruelty to a whole new level. He's the person that most of my dv pieces are about (I think you've read a few). Thanks for sharing this. This is another poem I needed to hear tonight.
