I Hate (Republished) Poem by B U Afnan

I Hate (Republished)



This look in the mirror,
reflects the face of a stranger.

Yet, perhaps what is stranger:
I already dislike his demeanor.

Maybe, because this reflection
betrays me with its very creation.

'His' head held so high, I see;
As he smiles, shamelessly,

Revealing the fangs 'I' used to shamefully hide.
Do 'I' hate him for his pride?

How can 'He' be so proud?
Unveiling 'me in himself' to the crowd?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was originally published on poem hunter 3-4 Yyears back, by my elder brother, as was too young, he however has forgotten not only the password but the username of that account as well, so if u see this poem published on here, under a different author, please don't mind.
the poem is trying to portray the emotion of hatred, in a metaphorical sense. the fact that the author hates his own reflection shows that, when ever we 'hate' another person for any of some of their shortcomings (personality, or character wise) , we actually abhor that trait in our selves that we like to keep hidden, and the open exhibition of it in another person, makes us hate them
