Poetry.

You always were ugly to me,

I tormented you for days, and never left you alone.

You were fat and flabby,

Stupid and mad,

You made these grandeur promises of being better,

I almost fell for some, believed others.

I still push you to be better than you used to be,

How could you just let yourself go?

Don’t talk to me like that;

I’m sure I’m better than you,

How do I know,

I can see through your façade,

You became too much for me to handle

I ignored you for months, didn’t care to notice you,

Until one day I closed the door and saw you in the mirror.

I see you again, and I still don’t like what I see.

    People never really change.

    Nice choice of words. Its being simple detaches it to the cliches and makes it understandable by almost any type of audience.
