Dear Hate


Dear Hate,

I hear you around every corner

I feel your eyes on me when I sleep

you never stop

never forgiving

never stop hurting me.

 

I feel powerless against you

there is too much of you

for just me to fight off

you're killing me slowly

squeezing the life out of my body.

 

I hear the voices calling 

telling me ignor it

move passed it

that I am stronger

than hate

 

but i have a secret

 

I am week

the hate does bother me

it hurts me in a place

I dont let anyone see.

 

Sometimes the hate is a

quiet stare

sometimes the hate is a

look from across the room 

glancing at me then their friend.

any way the hate comes about 

it hurts

 

the hate will  never go away

but I can learn to make it hurt less.

I can learn how to not let the hurt get to me

 

I can save myself 

 

from love
