Better than You

Dear You,

Who do you think you are
Talking to me like that
Acting like I'm yours
I'm not
I've never been
I'm better
So much better
Than you and your crap philosophies
On life
And love
And fucking like bunnies
Why are you here
I've told you before
Acting like I need you
I don't
I never will
I'm better
So much better
Than what you make me out to be
Your whore
Your doll
Your perfect little girl
When are you going to admit defeat
Find someone more your style
I'm not
I've never been
I'm better
So much better
Than your perverse fantasy land
Your mind
Your dick
Your useless existence
I'm better
So much better
Than You.

Teehee cynicism is what I do best. Glad you enjoyed it, I sure as hell liked getting it out of my system. :)

Not to be crass, but look at the fourth and fifth stanzas from the bottom. Reverse the last words in each line. Ha!

I love this poem. It's a bit of a rant, and I LOVE rants! You have some great lines here: perverse fantasy land, find someone more your style, crap philosophies. This would fit someone I know oh, so well. Great job! Thanks for the cynical smiles. :)
