Reflections

The hardest thing I’ve ever done I have yet to do
I am the boy who cried wolf one too many times
I’m an emotional abuser, a liar, a wordsmith, a creator of fake realities
I sit in the darkness of my mind and invite company just to steal their light
I am a parasite
I feed on the insecurities of others because my own are too bitter to taste.
I indulge in sin whole heartedly and still expect forgiveness
I am entitled. Entitled to praise and love.
I demand worship as ritual and thirst for attention in the most minute instances.
I run when I am scared
I am always scared
You can’t love me because I can’t love you
I expect love even when I do not display it
I don’t know how to love
I know how to show affection, that’s the only thing that comes naturally
I know how to give in
I know how to give up
I know how to disguise my intentions before I figure them out
I even know how to persuade an audience from so many years of convincing myself that I am a good person.
I know that I mistreat love every opportunity I get
I know that the boy who cried wolf is more than likely just looking in the mirror.
I know the hardest thing I’ve ever done…
I have yet to do

to love my faults and what shakes me to pieces.

and to smile with the wolf in the mirror.

Wow this is amazing! I love the imagery and the idea that even though this person sees so many faults in themself they are able to push past it and learn to love the wolf in the mirror! Very powerful and I loved it.
