Exceptional a free verse Despised by Bill Schott Free Verse Poem contest entry

The person I hate most sucks joy from all I do, reminding me of all my shortcomings. I am shown how I erred and lied; how I back-stabbed and bore false witness. Why should I know the delight of achievement? Any love received is delivered to the pseudo image, which stands where the actual person lies. How I despise -- me.   Recognized Author Notes Image from Google Hollow Man Not autobiographical.
