peyton There are so many people in my life that I have so dreadfully hurt.

I told these people from the start.

I have hurt people.
I hurt them in ways they didn't know they could be hurt.
From the start, they knew.

I don't think it's arrogance.
I really don't.
On my part or theirs.
I try very hard not to lie.
I try to let them know up front.
what_i_am
And what I can be.
They softly laugh it off.
And say
You're not like that now
Or
Those people didn't understand
Or
Those people deserved it.

But that's not true.
I am still that person.
And
Those people thought they understood
And
No one deserves it.
Not like that.

So once they're hurt.
And they curse me
and call me monster

What else could I have done?
I said from the start
I am poisonous.
I don't know what else I could do.

Sure.
Part of me likes it.
Part of me enjoys stalking
and hunting
and being caught up in the thrill

I really don't know what else I can do.
I hate it.
I love it.
I am what_i_am.
My trophies define me.
Because really
I am empty inside.
A cleverly painted container.
a gloating display of sharp edges
and teeth.

Doar Jebus Peyton,

I thought that was my writing.

Until I got to your name, at the end.

unhinged its just my fucked up youngstown definition of samsara

shakyamuni buddha said that the best way to end the back and forth was to expand your heart to include loving_kindness for all

the dorje dradul and the sakyong say to be gentle to all starting with yourself

thus have i heard. thus have i experienced to be true. thus is my dharma.
