Hate Can't Touch Me

You call me a monster/
Because you judge/
What you do not know/
Are you too lame to realize/
I am just like you/
I have feelings/
I have a heart/
I used to.be afraid of the dark/
Until I embraced that darkness/
I have my wounds that were inflicted by you/
But I am healing/
I am growing stronger/
I will not let your hate control me/
To cause me to be less than that/
Whatever that is/
I will arise from the depths you cast me in/
I will take back/
What you have taken from me/
I will heal despite what you say/
Because at the end of the day/
Hate is your own mental illness/
I chose to be the one/
Who is healing and not sick/
So, hate if you must/
Because I will be the one to love/
