You’re No Better Than Me

Not again! Not again! You will not torment me.

Once again, baby girl, you misunderstand me.

Let me be. Let me breathe. Go torment another!

Believe me, if I could, I’d sure as hell rather.

There’s no room in my home for hatred and the like.

If my presence troubles, feel free to take a hike.

For ten years you have crushed every one of my dreams.

Not ten years, twenty-five; but you forget, it seems…

Leave! Because all you do is bring me down so low.

…but you forget, it seems, I have nowhere to go.

You’re no better than me. I won’t take your abuse.

You may define that word in terms a tad too loose.

Every time I see you, it hurts me to my core.

I really wish you could love yourself a bit more.

Not with you judging me with such merciless eyes.

I do not mean to judge but I will tell no lies.

Please stop harassing me. Don’t get any closer.

Honey, please don’t forget… I’m only a mirror.
