Hate

Plunging off the bridge
A note
Written in blood
It wrote:

“Hate me not for sins I’ve done”
“Hate not this ruined one”
“Hate instead this society”
“Hate what was done to me”

“Hate that I had to hide”
“Hate not what I was inside”
“Hate the ones who threw the rocks”
“Hate the ones who drove me out”

The letter flutters and hits the water
Words running all together
Smearing words speaking hate
Blurring until there’s no mistake

Forming together
Making something new
Around the heart that bloomed
New words were born

“Love”
“Tolerance”
“Belief”
“Life”
