Bitter


I don't want to get bitter
I don't want to turn cruel
I don't want to get old before I have to
And I don't want to get jaded
Petrified and weighted
I don't want to get bitter like you
- "Bitter" by Jill Sobule


And maybe I've given up on bitterness.
The malcontent that leads me to resent all that anyone does to me;
To see through the most innocent of motives to read something dark and sinister behind it;
To stare at all the happiness in my life and spit on it in contempt;
To calmly watch other people fuck up knowing that you could fix it for them but do nothing;
To take all the excitement and enthusiasm someone has and extinguish it with a glance;
To throw disgusted looks at people and make them feel they've somehow wronged you;
To observe all that you've slaved and fought for being fed to the dogs and not flinch;
To predict that nothing that you'll do will work out right even before you've tried.

And maybe I haven't just yet.
