When Hatred Rules

You have your reasons

Nobody questions that

You have your stories

We all heard it

You have your sentiments

Some believe it

~

With all your traumas

Turning your life into drama

With excruciating pain

It became your refrain

You’re forced to live with it

With your hands unfit

~

Disappointment from your parents

Even unsupportive colleagues

Your friends aren’t there for you

Your lover can’t understand you

You’re in your own world

It became you against the world

Or so you thought

~

And that’s your choice

That’s what you want to believe

To justify your actions

To give meaning to your words

For sometimes, they lost their meaning

~

You’re disappointed in your parents

From their actions and decisions

But you’re forgetting, who first supported yours?

~

You’re angry with your colleagues

For not believing in you

Did you even plan to listen to them?

~

You’re bitter to your friends

For not being there

But are you even a friend to yourself?

~

You have fight for breakfast with your beloved

For respect and love have left the table.

Did you notice it?

~

Watch out for your resentment.

~

Your pride might befriend your hatred

It’s a dangerous combination

Leading towards obliteration

~~

"Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values.”

-Jose Ortega Y Gasset
