Self-fulfilling Prophesies

I feel such negative things toward myself
surely you feel them too
and you must see my character flaws exactly as I do
I always assume your pointing out to me
what I already know is true
And I attack you for these perceived attacks upon by character
by lashing out at you

this is why we argue
because you feel just the way I do

your always uncovering
my perceived weaknesses
and using them to inflict pain
simply to achieve your own point of view

But maybe I don’t see you
the way that you perceive me too
maybe what you consider flaws
is what I find so beautiful in you

Maybe we argue because I’m doing actually what you do
sensing my own inadequacies
and projecting them on you

Instead of just believing
what we sense the other
feels is true
Maybe we should ask
and listen

Perhaps what’s destroying us?
is not what we feel about each other
but rather our own negative point of views

maybe I’m the only one who perceives me the way I do
and I make myself my own worst enemy
because I'm projecting all that negativity
and directing it at you

Maybe love is discovering
that others don't feel something about us
just because we do

Hi Kilgore, much to think about here. It's been said that others mirror our souls--that's enough to ponder about right there--but it is interesting to think about how much of perceptions are simply negative self programming. Glad Kilgore was here.

This poem is exactly what I have been searching my heart for... I just wasn't the one to write it. I know all too well where you are coming from. Superb way of expressing it...  

What don't kill you can only make you stronger...

Love you, Adam!! :)
