I hate you...

For all the liars, perverts, and sick old men. This one goes out to you.

You say I am beautiful

and I hate you

I hate you for the way you covet me

Perverse and twisted half truths come rolling off your forked tongue

I see you for what you are

I see what you see
A deluge of sick images playing in your mind

I will not be your conquest in an alley
I will not breathe into your ear and let you pull my hair

I will not cure your every ill with my touch
I will not lie and make a man out of the filth that stands before me

I loathe you
I will not be your saving grace

I will not be left in the dark after satisfying your fantasy

I am not beautiful
And I will never be yours

this is good. the "muse" suddenly realizing she's merely an object, usually of perverse drives - and the awareness sickens her. This almost has the tone of "being beautiful is a curse" but it gets saved by the de-idealizing of herself as the cure or conquest climaxing (excuse the pun) with the line "I am not beautiful" and the following feminist proclamation "I will never be yours" - but she is specifically adressing "dirty old men" - not young handsome suitors, or geniuses, so maybe a part two is in order lol actually, on second thought, I think a sympathic poem from the perspective of the "perv" would be more interesting...

This is almost like a rant but too poetic and tells these people good!
Could be a poetic rant .
I like that you used the word 'covet me'...
Powerfully written. last two lines have so much punch.

I like the intensity in your poetry. But, particular this piece. Its like watching an immediate reaction of anger. As it steadily explodes, definitively.

Now this is passion. I can't even believe those last lines, which made me want
to read it a second time from bottom to top, each time i read this,
i find myself swooped by the absolute dread that overwhelms the emotion.
great job, crafty and significant

"A deluge of sick images playing in your mind"
You can take the man out of the gutter, but you can't take his mind out of the gutter :)

It's very raw and a slap in the face to the man in question.
Well done.
