Misdirected Anger

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I hated you only for a day
But it should have been a lifetime

I lied to myself
And said it was only
A lack of understanding
(Why was I so scared to hate you?)
I had to be mad at someone
So it was poured
On everyone else.
Accusations of cold shoulders
And apathy in everybody
When in reality
It was only me.

The hate I felt for you
Maybe then it was too much
And too strong
So much
I couldn't handle.
Now that my blister is gone
I'm ready
Ready to feel my contempt
Loathing
And hatred for you.

And it feels so good.
