Hate Is a Liar

It doesn't get you a leg up to hate the other person
Like a needle, hate pierces through your heart 
Like a plague, it sickens your mind
Until you're only possessed by vengeance
Unless you opt for clemency
Hate will drive you in the midst of an erupting volcano
And will tear your heart apart into jagged bits
