scorn squeezins

and so again
I drink the bitter potion
distilled from your scorn
and become drunk from its ugliness
and for what?
I am an asshole when drunk
upon this - I admit it...

I am tired of looking in the mirror
and detesting the person I see
I don't need excuses any longer
to beat myself down...
surely not the ones
you crush like so many grapes
So it's time to be
who I was always meant to be
with you
or without you...
