Untitled

What I love,
I give.
What I want,
I give.
What I crave for,
I give.
What I admire,
I give.

But,
What I hate,
I keep.
What I do not want,
I keep.
What would hurt me,
I keep.
What is bad to my eye,
I keep.

Because,
What I would want to happen to me,
I wish to happen to those around me.
What would rob me of my peace,
I cannot give to any other person.
