You tell me I'm just like you. That may be true. I am indeed in half you. I am just as angry as you. I as well have random outbursts on people who just happen to be around. I to spit word out in anger. I to curse out the world for the hand I was given. I may say things I don't mean. But I'm better than you because I have a guilty conscious. I'm better than you, because I can acknowledge that I don't want to be like you. I'm better than you because I know how to apologize. Because the things I've said in anger still haunt me to this day. They still eat me alive. I'm better than you because I can apologize to you for defending myself but you can't apologize to me for throwing the first line. I'm better than you because I can acknowledge that this isn't right. You can try to hold me down at your level. You can say I'm a horrible person. But I am a better person than you because I'm trying not to be you.
