A letter to Hatred

Dear Hatred,

The demonic oppressor of life. You are the architect of lies, pain, death and strife.

Dear Hatred,

There’s no place for you in my heart. I can’t believe that I let you win my heart.

Dear Hatred,

You’re a killer. A destroyer of all that is sacred. You are time well wasted.

Dear Hatred,

When you talk I don’t wanna hear it. You’re just a self-made poison to the spirit.

Dear Hatred,

Why did I let you trap me? I thought you’d bring me justice but you just made me unhappy.

Dear Hatred,

I’m cutting all ties with you because I’ve spent the worst times of my life with you.

Dear Hatred,

You’ve only bred war and death. You’re the reason so many have taken their last breath.

Dear Hatred,

I’ve really learned a lot from you. More than anything you’ve taught me what not to do.

Dear Hatred,

Without you my life is better. I’m breaking up with you and we ain’t gettin’ back together.

Dear Hatred,

I don’t fear hatred. I just don’t wanna be anywhere near hatred.
