You Know Who You Are
You have fought with monsters too long. And in turn,
you have become a monster.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have burned bridges because of one loose board.
You have taken people for granted.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have made friends into enemies while placing
enemies upon pedestals.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have used people for your own purposes and, in
turn, you have cast them aside.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have impacted lives. You have jaded people.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have neglected to conceive the impact of your
words. You believe that the delete button is a
cure-all pill.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have twisted words. You have manipulated minds.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have picked the unsure over the tried and true.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have chosen unwisely. And that choice will change
your life.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have become someone new. You have become someone
not worthy of being in my life.
I know you don't see it, though.
You have gazed into the abyss. And the abyss has
gazed back into you.
I know you don't see it, though.
I know you don't see it, though.
_________________ He who fights with monsters should take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Nietzsche
