You would hate me if you knew me;
If you really knew me at all.
You would hate that I believe all people should have rights - even those things whose beliefs are different than mine.
You would hate that I oppose you;
That I don't share your mind.
You would hate that I am not just like you.
You would hate to learn that I am my own person with my own thoughts.
You would hate that you have driven me to resent you.
You would blame yourself for all my "faults" and take it out on me.
You would hate every single thing about me if you truly knew me.
You do hate me.
Even if you don't know it, you do hate me.
You tell me you hate me every time you bash the people who think like me.
You tell me you hate me with every passive aggressive remark about my decisions. You tell me you hate me each time you disrespect me or expect me to drop everything for you.
But maybe that okay.
Because maybe.
I hate you, too.
