BEHIND THE HATE YOU GIVE
We all crave to be special
To be unique
Growing up it was all you were ever told
Dad, saying “you are the best”
Mom, clothing you saying “you are exceptional”
Only to discover you are one of many
Then you meet people who are different
Who stand out
Your jealousy turns into hatred
Tell me is that why you hate me
Or is it truly because of my skin color’
I ask again is that why you hate me
Or is it truly because I choose to love who I want’
I ask you! Is that why you hate me
Or is it because I choose to have a different belief than yours’
Tell me!
Tell me!
Say it!
But you can’t, you had rather hide underneath your blanket of hatred
A hatred which is for no other but you
Cuz It’s our hearts that make us truly unique
