quick to judge
regardless of circumstance or afflictions
–
you paint yourself in golden hues
conveniently ignoring your own vices & addictions
–
you misrepresent yourself, a hero
but your stories are all fictions
–
you don’t really stand for anything
with your tepid bathwater convictions
–

Cutting. “You misrepresent yourself” – this is such a profound line on many levels. I see this a lot and it bugs the s***t out of me – lol 🙂
