The Dangers Of Hate

Do I exist, do I matter, am I garbage/ A voice whispers in my soul's dark passage/ I am a person too with feelings that swell/ Deserving as much as the rest of you/ Can't you tell/ Isolation is no fun, a cruel sentence/ Ostracized, I stand in my own defense/ Singled out in unjust hate, I ponder/ Why do they deem me garbage, I wonder/ I've done nothing wrong/ Just tried to be me/ But hatred blinds those who refuse to see/ In a world that should cherish/ Uplift, embrace/ The poison of hate/ Turns it to a desolate place/ Together we stand/ Though many are apart/ Healing begins when love fills the heart/ Break the chains it creates/ And build a world/ Where compassion radiates/
