Hatred

To unveil who I am to you
is danger you arent liken to survive
For the unquenchable flame 
of hatred that boils within
is unaproachable
This desire that pushes me along
drives me through the night
and plunges me through the day
Turning to ashe all that oppose me
for I am a victim of the universe's cruelty
and my need for venegance is quite strong
for I have to powers
one to love and one to hate
Can you teach me to love 
Can you withstand the heat the pours from within
my wounded and neglected heart
A heart that has been stabbed a thousand times
for I am no coward but I have died a thousand deaths
for it kills me to see you have what I don't
Love and acceptance.

Very deep and moving write, Malcolm. I can relate to many of these feelings except I end up hating myself for the pain they have said I deseved. You have expressed your feelings well! Love, Robin
