A Reaction to Hate

Funny
All the hate I get
Posting these words
Expressing my truth

Avoiding self-censorship
Spelling out the harsh realities
Lost in translation, perhaps
Yet you all add to the bruise

I don't get it
probably never will
How acting like a human
Can fuel bitter feuds

So I gotta accept that
My word vomit only resonates
in this self-contained world
Living as the bitter muse
