Detestation

an "I hate you" Poem for English

 

I hate how before every single performance,
you put on your coca base makeup to hide your cares.
I hate how you pretend what you do,
is okay just so you can hide your snares.
I hate how you're an actor,
who on stage pretends you're fine.
I hate how thought out and well rehearsed,
are your bread mold aged pickup lines.
I hate how you're a techie,
who does all the work backstage.
I hate how you use that satin curtain,
to hide all of that addicting shame.
I hate how you're a director,
who thinks you run how others act.
I hate how you tell them blocking,
that to only you it would satisfy and attract.
I hate how you're an audience member,
who wants to watch that kind of show.
I hate how you laugh at your puppets,
due to the fact your heart drowns so low.
I hate how you're a fellow thespian,
who thinks you know I want that scandalous life.
I hate how you're overly conceded,
to see past the muddy lies that cause you strife.
I hate how you're my original muse,
and how I ended up writing about you.
And lastly the thing I hate most of all,
is how you act like I don't hate you.

This is absolutely fantastic. A wonderful read, by far.
My favorite lines are;
"I hate how you're overly conceded,
to see past the muddy lies that cause you strife."

Thank you for the FANTASTIC read. :)

It's interesting how you compare the person's faults and facade to theatre. They play all the roles, never truly being themselves, but always improvising and acting, pretending something is what it is not to feed their ego. Well done.

Wow! This is really good! I have hated someone so completely, that this piece hits home on almost EVERY level there could be. I love the theatrical parallels... it's a one man/woman show! And I also love how in the end, the speaker (would that be you???) admits their own madness by being involved in the first place! Delicious!
