Replying to a comment on:

To a bum, (Free verse) by RealmOfSong

Your redemption was to make me feel sorry -- Well, I'm not sorry anymore. What you "felt like" is what you are; I'm not sorry for that. I am not the one who stabs backs I am not the one who can lie with a straight face because I've had so much "practice" I am not the spoiled egg who needs an entourage And I am not sorry for what you've made of yourself. You used dialogue to mask threats to sink me -- Well I'm not listening anymore. I've seen what you look like under the stage paint, What writhes under your skin, And my eyes have never lied to me.

I like it a lot, but I'm slightly confused by the title vs. the context. It seems more like you're talking to a familiar acquaintance of some sort, rather than a stranger on the street. Or maybe you're calling that acquaintance a loser of life? Hmm, that could be what I originally missed.
