Hate
I did not want to
I did not want to hate
I did all I could to love
But it stuck in my thought
Memories would not let me abide
And it wound around me
Gorrotting hope from the inside
Stumbling
I was a nugget not a pearl
Swerlling in the currents
Abbradded I lay
Growing smaller
Buffetted by things
I could not see
Sick to the core
Ground down
By the mutual body blows
Of others like me
Too bitter and twisted
Stuck in the stream
Tumbled in their back water
Rut
Again and again and again
Drowning in hate
I did not want
I did not want to
I did not want to hate
But I did.
