The person you used to know

I see it in your eyes as they look away 

In utter disgust at my faults and failures.

You cast away a glare that doesn't seem

like you. But then you say I don't seem like me.

I'm far from perfect but I know you won't accept

me for who I really am underneath my despair.

I can't put my finger on what's gone wrong,

All I know is I blame myself for my stupidity.

I hate myself for what I've put you through but

I can't help it any more but continue to slip back

in time to my old unrealistic ways. I just want to 

be the normal person you used to know.
