You See You When You Look at Me

It isn’t the things that you think you are,
That make you upset with yourself,
It is the things that others see,
That challenge your conscious self.

I can’t forget on a day like this,
The words that flowed so easily,
White oleander as charged,
Two words that dug right into me.

How easily you judge me,
With your self righteous convictions,
But what you see in me is you,
And all of your devious intentions.

A product of my environment,
Brought up by a poisonous flower,
What am I to be if you are all I see,
As each day passes with the hours.
