The Extent of Humanity

March 14, 2016

What are the extents of humanity?

They can say the loveliest things.

I love you.

You make my world.

You're beautiful.

 

Wonderful claims but the same speak,

I hate you.

I hope you break all your bones and crawl on the ground.

You ugly whore.

I swear, you are a curse to your family.

 

I've heard it all.

Heard these said in my family,

my friends,

and in all the places that I wasn't supposed to hear.
