rejoicing in all you have 'given' all you have 'loved' but you do not love you brandish your spears of criticism embracing all that you fear controlling the weak and calling that love you quest to pull others upon your pedestal boosting them into gods like yourself and i despise you not for the way your quest obliterates every knowledge the others have of themselves and leaves them empty shells after you vampire their souls i despise that in you i am mirrored that treachery has inflated our ego falsely writhing in the battle of similar poles we repel each other yet you try to extricate my force i will not let you swallow me cannot allow myself to capitulate abort me from your selfish righteousness you cannot 'give' to me for i am not weak i am empowered enough to resist your terminal onslaughts i will succeed where you fail and withold myself from you unlike you i will survive
