I HATE YOU

"I Hate You"

You saunter into the room, a vision of perfection,
A masterpiece of elegance, a work of art in every direction.
Your smile, a radiant sunrise, illuminates the space,
While I'm left to wallow in the shadows, a dull, forgotten face.

Your laughter, a melodic symphony, echoes through the air,
As I seethe with envy, my heart a cauldron of bitter care.
Your success, a towering monument, casts a long, ominous shade,
Reminding me of my own failures, my dreams forever delayed.

Oh, how I adore the way you effortlessly excel,
A virtuoso of victory, while I'm stuck in a rut, a perpetual shell.
Your confidence, a swaggering giant, strides across the floor,
Leaving me to tremble in its wake, a timid, insignificant roar.

I hate you for being better, for shining brighter than me,
For making me feel small, insignificant, a mere speck in the sea.
I hate you for your achievements, for your radiant, beaming light,
That casts a harsh, unforgiving glare on my own dull, lackluster night.

But most of all, I hate you for making me hate myself,
For holding up a mirror to my own inadequacies, my own failed wealth.
You're a constant reminder of all that I'm not,
A nagging, gnawing voice that whispers "you'll never be enough."

So here's to you, dear nemesis, my archenemy, my foe,
May your success continue to torment me, may your brilliance forever glow.
