Hurt

My hurt that can't be seen The pain that came At the end of my dream It's presense, a horrible thing I want to let go But it just seems to cling It's maker, still walking around Unaware of my worries How hard I feel down I need to hate But love gets in the way It holds my rages and makes me to stay Am I the fool That you want me to be? It isn't cool what was done to me What should come At the end of a dream? When the star has been broken and ruined the theme I will survive But just this one thing I'm letting go if you can't fix this dream (Dedicated to Colleen Bono)

i need to.hate but love gets in the way.Tnks God that love keeps getting in the way especially when we re angry enough at something to make us in need of hate.Tnks God we re not able to hate cos its love which gives us freedom and hate which drags our soul.Powerful poem we all can relate to.at times.nn
