The World Is Full of Haters

Some time ago maybe very recently you may have been called a failure,
Told that you was one big sad movie trailer.
Maybe even been called" evil "
Or accursed of not being "civil "
When all you was doing was being yourself because that's all you've known,
Their hurtful words make you want to turn your heart to stone.
But they don't know who you are or what you believe in....
All they do is set back and judge,
As if they had the right to push and shove.
In their minds they think they do....
They are afraid of your soul shine,
They will always search for dirt that they can find.
I don't know why people sink this low,
Where your waiting for the next low blow,
They would just love to try and stop your creative flow.
But I do know one thing....
That this world is full of haters 
Who think they should be praised as some kind of crusader.

You are right - unfortunately. This is a stimulating poem. I am now watching the Giants who are losing 17 - 0 at the half. Hope they can catch up. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
