I hate when things get out of whack
I hate I struggle to stay on track
I hate how poorly I manage my time
I hate always having to write in rhymes
I hate how callused my hearts become
I hate I get blindsided by love
I hate when I’m misled by my gut
I hate routine but without it I’m fucked
I hate looking stupid
I hate feeling dumb
I hate taking chances and depending on luck
I hate being right less often than I’m not
I hate always thinkin’ that I’m thinking too much
I hate my impulsiveness
I hate my obsessiveness
I hate being driven by manic depression
and…
I hate I’m not the easiest at getting along
I hate that I’m not graceful, I’m more of klutz
I hate I feel pretend when I try to act tough
I hate I say I’m good when usually I’m not
I hate acting out in anger
I hate holding it inside
I hate I bounce from both extremes and don’t always know why
I hate that I hate bigotry, and hypocrites be damned
I hate that deep within myself I ain’t no better than
I hate my lack of confidence
I hate I think I’m lame
I hate I rarely say the things I truly want to say
I hate I get so nervous when it’s time to turn the page
I hate I let my fears dictate my moves throughout the day
I hate my paranoia
I hate having to lie
I hate that I’m afraid to let others see me cry
I hate that I withdraw and hide whenever I am sad
But what I hate the most is feeling good when I’ve been bad
