if you don't love you hate


My love for you,

My love for your kind

Is said to be evil.

I know what love is.

Love is that feeling were you feel unstoppable.

If humans are meant to love

Why do certain groups despise it?

How is it evil to love someone?

How is it evil to feel these things?

We are humans too.

We don’t choose what or who we love

So why do you say we do?

Did you choose to love what excites you?

Did you choose to be made fun of what you love?

Did you choose to be hated because people are hiding themselves?

Did you choose to be an outcast?

No, because I didn’t.

Love isn’t a choice.

Love is a power.

It can make someone do unspeakable things.

If you don’t love you hate.
