Place of Hatred

written: November 20, 2013

There might be happiness in here

There might be contentment

There might be friends I have to keep

But there’s a part of me with touches of hatred and uncertainty

 

No one wants to give in

No one really understands

Beyond pretty faces are hearts of steel

Now I’m longing for the feeling behind the word “surreal”

 

Though I know why I’m still here

The art of patience is so hard to bear

Yet somehow, I learn to wait

Heart of disdain is what I avoid to build

 

I'm not planning on being nothing forever

I’ll break free from this piercing maneuver

Not today but right time will come...

I believe someday I’ll find my solace

Because somewhere out there,

I know I have my place.

Author's Note

I wrote this at the middle of Law class last year.Everyone was so noisy and I actually hated the atmosphere that time...

I enjoyed the poem. Took the reader with you in internal thoughts an decisions. I liked how you ended the poem. Some sort of peace. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

One person's nothing is another's everything. Steel must be forged through fire. Let that steel be your backbone. Very nice, Olive.

"Behind pretty faces having hearts of steel"- o yea this line really depicts how cruel people are.. the poem is having a desperation to move out of this shell of pretence.It ends with an optimistic note that- yes i will find my solace someday.Thats what i love - optimism.. nice write olive★takecare★ :)
