Writing in The Dark

Hates Gate

Stuck behind Hates Gate,

Life isn't going great,

I hate this mental state,

It's creating chaos.

Overwhelmed I wait,

Problems filling my plate,

And it's building weight,

Holding me at the gate.

I can't think straight,

Seeing only hate,

It feels to late,

To change my fate.

My life a waste,

Tasting defeat,

I try to retreat,

Tripping over my feet.

Face first to the floor,

I don't want to try no more,

Just settle your score,

So I don't hate me anymore.

Filthy
