The Hate You Give


You dont understnad

You'll never get it

You will never feel the fear that courses through me

For im the monster who frightens you but you have no idea what the monsters are that give me chills

Im the one who walks beside you who greets you, never the less I terrify you so you my kind becasue when afraid, lives are lost

But my monsters are far more bone chilling blood curling hair raising

My terrors come from those who fear me

Those who assume

Those who wouldnt dar egive me the benefit of the doubt

My monsters are the ones with guns

Who are so frightened by my skin that the only way to silence their troubling thoughts are to eliminate the fears

My monsters dont hide under my bed or in my closet they dont lurk in the shadows or creep up from behind

They have much more power and are much too bold to hide

They run the country they chose my laws

And they tell me what to do

Those who I fear and whom fear me have the power and right to kill me if too afraid

Where as I am juts a monster with lesser feelings

Just  a threat in need of elimination

Just a monster with no weapons no snarl or fangs but somehow a terrible villain that all are taught to fear

A lonely monster
