Haters Gonna Hate
You took my face and pinned it to your lie--
a body not my own, a cruel deceit.
Your fantasy says more of you than me.
I’ve seen the way you twist what you can’t grasp.
You mock the truth because it threatens yours.
You weaponize the softness of my past
as if it shames the man I’ve since become.
But nothing in your hands can make me less.
I’ve walked through fire to build this living flesh,
each step a wound, each breath a kind of war.
A self-made man, I fought and earned it all.
Distortion is the only craft you know.
You shrink behind your screen, a blinking ghost.
You speak in spite because you have no voice.
You feed on lies but never taste the truth.
Your bitterness is nothing I’ll consume.
You try to cage me in the past I left,
but I am not a story told by you.
I’m not the ending you were hoping for.
I bask in light you'll never understand.
I'm made of things that you will never break.
You throw your stones from deep inside a wall.
But I have nothing left to hide or lose.
You hate because you’ll never do the same.
a body not my own, a cruel deceit.
Your fantasy says more of you than me.
I’ve seen the way you twist what you can’t grasp.
You mock the truth because it threatens yours.
You weaponize the softness of my past
as if it shames the man I’ve since become.
But nothing in your hands can make me less.
I’ve walked through fire to build this living flesh,
each step a wound, each breath a kind of war.
A self-made man, I fought and earned it all.
Distortion is the only craft you know.
You shrink behind your screen, a blinking ghost.
You speak in spite because you have no voice.
You feed on lies but never taste the truth.
Your bitterness is nothing I’ll consume.
You try to cage me in the past I left,
but I am not a story told by you.
I’m not the ending you were hoping for.
I bask in light you'll never understand.
I'm made of things that you will never break.
You throw your stones from deep inside a wall.
But I have nothing left to hide or lose.
You hate because you’ll never do the same.
Written in April 2025: a couple of people who I know for a fact hate me stole the face of my original avi aka Fin v 1.0 and put it on bodies of women, as a form of harassment. One of them ended up deactivated the account once I saw it, reported and blocked her, and then she committed block evasion under a different username to message me and admit she'd done it to hurt me. Then a couple weeks later, her good friend did the same thing with stealing my face and putting it on a woman's body, to try to gang up on me, and Ms Block Evasion promoted the work.
