I can never quite understand the concept of hate
How could you have such a feeling,
A feeling as strong as hate towards someone?
I don’t get it
I’ve only every said that word out loud a minuscule amount of times in my life
And I don’t think I truly felt that way towards the people I said it to,
I was frustrated, I was angry, I was confused
But I never hated you,
I’ve heard that word, hate, thrown around in such a casual manner too many times,
But that’s just it, hate isn’t a casual word
It isn’t a word you toss back and forth
It isn’t a word you add to a sentence, then pretending to force that emotion out
It isn’t a word you should take delicately
Because maybe you don’t hate them, maybe you just don’t understand them
You pretend to feel hate because you don’t know how to react
You don’t know how to respond
But maybe you do hate them with a burning passion, with a searing incentive
Maybe they really did hurt your feelings, they twisted you from the inside out
They made you feel all of those feelings you didn’t want to feel
But you didn’t know it was hate that drove you to push them away,
Because maybe hate really is a genuine and authentic feeling,
Maybe I just haven’t figured out what hate means to me yet.
