Dealing With the Hate

A Quick Reflection

By Published 6 years ago β€’ 1 min read
We're all fighting that demon us

One cannot exist,

Without the other.

It's a beautiful curse,

That we'll all discover.

A normal feeling some omit to,

But end up coming back to the issue,

Here's a perfect example just for you.

(Now put yourself in this person's shoe,

And follow these thoughts I'm going to tell you)

You can't trust anyone,

To you, someone's either a hater,

Or a manipulative deceiver,

Keeping you around for a favor,

Which if you turn down,

You'll be seen as a traitor.

Fuck all of that!

You don't need any of that energy,

Thoughts like that do nothing,

But break you down mentally.

Take a step back,

And go back to your sweet serenity,

Grab a pillow and relax,

Soon it'll all be a distant memory.
