Hatred

Stronger

By Cassiie EtiennePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Strong, strong enough to

rip through my entire soul,

my whole being.

It tingles at the tip

as it moves inwards, it gets

strong...er, filing me up

to the point it feels like it,

will swallow me whole.

Strong, strong enough to

scare me deep into my soul, shaking

my whole being.

It shivers me at the tip

as it moves inwards

strong...er. Filling me up

to the point... I feel it,

the ground shaking under me.

Strong, strong enough to

not let it consume my entire soul.

my whole being.

It flows all the way to the tip

relaxing me as it moves inwards

strong...er, then this

to the point, I realize

you aren't worth it.
