I Hate Your Face (2)

-I Hate Your Face (2)-
by
Keaton Foster



I hate your face
And your solemn ways
You completely disgust me
Sickening the air I breathe
Infecting the reality I see
Is there any reason for such hate
Is there any reason for me feeling
In such a toxic way towards you
Are you deserving of such disgust
What could have you possibly done
Standing naked and accused
Are you exposed or am I
Weakness or strength
Arrogance or resentment
Does any of it make a difference
Or is the hate I have for you
And your face just the way
Of the world we both call ours
We are one and the same
You and I
Reflections turned enemies
I hate your face
I do what I can to let you know
To make you understand
But you do nothing
Not a damn thing
Except stare back at me
With those increasingly vacant eyes
Tears sometimes flow
The brightest lights no longer glow
Alive in death does indeed show
Backwards everything seems
Reality and duality screams
I hate your face
The same face that is mine
Such reflections do not lie
Impossible is the truth to hide
I must face who I am
And what I have become
Because like you and I
They are both the same…
