Hypocritical

Some people can dish it out, but flip out when it's thrown back in their face.

I

She tells me I'm a mess

when she takes the pill

to quell

her troubled soul. 


II

She tells me I'm lazy

when she hides under

the covers of her

cluttered bed.


III

She tells me I'm on the phone

way too much

as she pays for lives

on her mobile game app. 


IV

She always points out my flaws,

but never her own.

How did we fall

into this hypocritical zone? 

V

How did I become the problem

in a mess she made?

Will I ever know?

Will she ever know? 


VI

She points her finger 

at me,

when she should be

pointing that finger at thee.
