Hate

I hate it when you laugh at me and when you call me names

I hate it when you ask me why and when you play mind games

I hate it when I’m angry but you still invade my space

I hate it when you break my thoughts and make me loose my place

I hate it when I need to speak and let you know my mind

But you don’t shut up long enough and I’m just too damn kind



I hate the way you always need to look your very best

I hate the way you seem so happy when you’re so depressed

I hate the way you find the flaws in everything I do

I hate the way you take my thoughts and form them to fit you

I hate the way that you respond when you are criticized

I didn’t mean that it was bad and I apologized.



I hate those stupid stories of all the stupid boys

I hate those stupid tricks you use and all the stupid ploys

To try and make me smile or forget that I’m upset

I hate those stupid things you do that I know you’ll regret

I hate those stupid faces you make and the hugs you give

When you need me to do something that’s so imperative



I hate the way I punish you for the mistakes you make

I hate the way I give you things and you refuse to take

I hate the way I make you feel like your not good enough

I hate the way you always seem to call me on my bluff

I hate the way that I pretend and that I always stall

But most of all I hate the way I don’t hate you at all

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I thought that if was a really cool idea for a poem the first time I watched 10 things I hate about you.  I kinda stole the idea.  I hope no one thinks less of me because of it.  I usually don't show anyone this poem because of that.

Jonathan,
As soon as I started reading this I thought of 10 Things I Hate About You, but don't worry, it didn't make me think less of you. I really do like it though, and I can't wait to read more of your posts!

I dont like the repetition of 'I hate' in this poem..it seems to cause me to read to quickly just to get through the first few words of each line but it is well stated..smile
