not practicing what i preach

[yocheckthisride]

i can recognize a hazardous relationship when i see one,
so why won't i get out?

you would turn my friends against me,
abandon me,
leave me alone without a second thought,
without pity,
i've seen it time and time again.

i should put an end to this, before it's too late.

you need to take a step back,
away from your image,
away from your hunger for power,
look in the mirror,
learn to accept responsibility.
learn how to be the bigger person.
learn that controlling people is not the best way to get what you want.
learn that arrogance is only a thin veil for insecurity.
learn that overanalyzing things will not help you.
learn that no one thinks as hard about you as you do.
learn that degrading your friends is not a way to keep them.
learn to be more upfront about things.
learn that, at some point, this will all come back to bite you if you don't change.

if it comes down to it, you won't destroy me as you've done the others.
i'm like you,
only better.
