Hate

Poem

Surrounding me at all times

The horror that keeps reminding me

Of what could be

Of what should be

How to get rid of this petrifaction?

It haunts my every thought

My every move

It crawls slowly along my skin

The pang of guilt

The pain of knowing

I can see it in the edge of my vision

I can hear it whisper those bittersweet words

Those words I had thought to be lies

Those words I had thought to be deception

They’re back

They’re back to feed on my pain

To feed on my sorrow

To steal my soul

To make me forget

The hope I once held

The love I once had

It burns my throat

Begging to be released

Begging to be heard

My cries are muffled

By the sounds of the singing

The sweet song of the birds

The ones who are free

The ones who cannot be bothered

I have been enslaved

In this world of hate

Forever enslaved

In this eerie world of hate.
