Hate feels like a giant rock incasing my soul.
The rock is black and my soul is white and full.
The rock gets bigger the more you give in.
The bigger it is the faster you sink in the ocean.

At first hate’s shield makes you feel invincible,
Since it is a rock it is indestructible,
Since a rock it is hard and cold,
Hate cannot be defeated as I have been told.

But today I stand to make a change.
To fight for my life back, and turn the page.
If I have to melt the rock I will.
It is with love, that the naked missing shield needs to be replaced with, to be filled.

I have learned to trust again,
Turn to love and you will see the pain melt away, and with your life you can make amends.
Hate is not something you can beat in a fight.
With hate you must learn to turn into the light.
I have finally let go,
Of everything inside I have kept built up and stowed.
It is hard,
When the battle for your life is against everything you knew.
You must learn that you have a choice,
And that you must not shy away from your voice.

You can’t keep on that road of misery and uncertainty.
I will cross out the streets of everything that has hurt me.
Memories of the past, mistakes I have made, and wrongs others did to me.
All of that must be forgiven, everything I know, forgiveness is how it needs to be.

Hate has made me into a beast.
Hate has taken my emotions to dine on as its uncaring selfish feast.
Hate, you can’t consume me ever again, this ends now. I must try.
I have broken out of your unloving shell, and opened my eyes.

I laugh looking back knowing I was told against you I couldn’t win a fight.
I’ve turned to God, and have walked into the light.
Away from the blackness of the night.
Always have and always will do what I think is right.

I have forgiven those who have wronged me.
And instead of being weak and angry, I will learn to be free.
First is the key I must find,
The key which is Destiny’s Bind.

I completed the first step and stripped away from all I knew.
I turned to love, forgiveness, and compassion something I could never do.
Hate is no longer my fate.
With hate I can no longer relate.
From hate I have been saved.
From hate inside I was enslaved.

I have learned that beauty and strength come from love and forgiveness.
It is hard to do but it can be done with a strong will and self-awareness.
It took me awhile, I know I was late
But better now than never, what do you think hate?
