Hate me
For what I am.
Hate me
For I do not speak your terms.
Hate me
For I cry out loud
Your hypocrisy.
Hate me
For I do not inhale your twisted truths.
Hate me
For I do not dream your version of ‘success’.
Hate me
For I won’t be what you want me to be.
Hate me
For everything that I stand for.
Hate me
For everything that I am.

Yet I refuse
To be your shadow
To be your copy of the copy
To be your little man.

And I refuse
To be one of ‘you’.
And I refuse
To be ‘you’-
Smiling smiling beautiful villain.
And I refuse
To be ‘you’ –
Boot licking all knowing mask man.
And I refuse
To BELONG.
