Hate in


-Hate in-

12-8-21

by Jacob Flippen

 

When I'm down on my knees I'm praying for the next day.

When I'm hopless I feel my anxiety come over me.

When I see the clouds come my way, I just want to see you stay.

Love is a game that I take my bets to.

I don't want to lose you.

Love in but I have the hate in.

Hate in.

Don't let the hate in.

Hate is a strong word.

I know I should care but I don't where.

All I do is stare.

Play me like a drum and you hear the snare.

Stop and stare.

Hate in.

So when I'm taking it all in I hope you don't the hate in.

I'm may never be the one but I may be anyone.

Leave me be to sit in my shame.

I hate what I can't tame.

Out or in?

This is my hate in.
