Hatred.

A chip on your shoulder, a heart on fire & teachings of forgiveness is an interesting combination.


Do you want to know what I hate? I hate how easy it is to hate. I hate how resentment is always in the neighbourhood looking for the person that will let him in. He walks around with such a relatable story that makes it difficult not to invite him. Such a peaceful guest, if you don't pay attention to him you won't even remember letting him in, he simply just exists in your presence, until it is time to be fed.


I ran. I didn't know what to do so I ran. I took everything that I had, picked up every teardrop and ran. Fear was pulling me by the shirt as I saw him in the distance. I could hear anxiety's whispers. So I ran. 


I hate strength. I resent you for assuming that I'm strong enough to carry this burden. You watched me as I suffered and pretended that you understood what I was going through. You promised me that I will be alright. I resent you for that. You told me that I should keep my head up high, looked me in the eyes and ignored the tear that fell from it. I will never forgive you for this. You couldn't bring yourself to find empathy off the basis of my assumed strength. Which strength?


"The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes, and burns to ashes..."


So I met the Grim Reaper the other day. I held his hand while music played in the background. I spun him around and danced with him. Then I showed him the finger. 


I hate cowards.


Do you understand?
