i already suspect
everyone
hates me
yet when it is confirmed
that
someone
hates me
i spin out…
that familiar
downward
spiral
“they’re just jealous”
possibly
the only nice thing
my mom
said to me
her grade school pariah
am i a threat
i wonder
something to fear
or hate?
this makes more sense to me
than jealousy
but of course
odds are
someone has to love me…
following that
would suggest that someone
must hate me
&
if the whole world
can’t love
me
then
the whole world
can’t hate me
either.
trying to talk myself in off the ledge? i’m not sure this is working.
I love you. I think you are unique and authentic. I respect you, and to a large extent, I “get” you. Too bad i am old enough to be your father. Hey, there’s a thought. Maybe I could be your surrogate dad????

To paraphrase Abe Lincoln; You can offend some of the people some of the time, but you can’t offend all the people all of the time. And, yes, some of us do love you and your words and art. Oh, that reminds me of a song: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/6/14/2104111/-Guns-didn-t-protect-pioneers-but-coffee-did
