It's there in the way you act towards me
    In the things you do
        And in the things you say

Better than me...

If I didn't know
    I'd believe it was meant to be this way
Because there's no rhyme
    there's no reason
        and no cause
But it is
    just the same
        and you always have

It's the way you are with me
  Rolling your eyes
    and curling your lip

You do to me with your words
    that tear
Speak to me with your works
    that bruise
Give to me your looks
    that loathe
Because you believe

You'll cause a scene
    for the sake of a show
Like an empty can
    rattling its worth

Blue in the face
    Black of the tongue
        Cold in your heart

But what does that matter
    if you truly believe

You're better than me

If I didn't know better
    If I didn't know you
        and I didn't know me

I might believe it too...

I find a superior attitude quite unattractive to say the least.

Good venting~

This piece shows the depths of your strength - sometimes we forget that mental/emotional strength is more important than physical strength.
Enjoyed.
