When I look around and hate is all I see

Calm beginnings spring forth from my memory

A time when I knew <not>

what hate has <brought>

to my <forethought>

that makes me want to <squat>, and bend under the weight of this.

This cloud of hate that I can barely see the light through

But when I look at my Brother 17 and scared I say <"it's me and you">

When I look at my Mother who raised us alone I say <it's me and you">

When I see my friends suffering from never-ending addiction I say <it's "me and you">

"me and you" Is what I say

because life has never been kind to me

But I know at the end of the day I have it easy

Because I have Love, and Love over hate only makes Love grow.

And our whole lives we have been characters in a show.

A show called hate.

Shows canceled.
