Analysis of Loathe Every Mirror



You loathe every person.
You despise yourself.
Now it is to worsen. You pilfer the pelf.

You loathe every flower.
You despise the rose.
Now it is your glower. You depose the pose.

You loathe every season.
You despise the fall.
Now it is high treason. You win winter call.

You loathe any creature.
You despise the farm.
Now it is main feature. You harbor the harm.

You loathe every lesson.
You despise the rule.
Now it is true session. You refuel the fool.

You loathe every mirror.
You despise your face.
Now it is much clearer. You ace the disgrace.
