A Cure for Hatred

by Lynn Durkin - Cancer

I sat there crying, alone in the dark.
I expected for it all just to go away.
And when it didn't I needed someone to blame.
And I blamed him for my mistakes.
I started to hate him,
and that tiny hatdred grew and grew.
Suicide seemed like the only other choice.I grew more and more depresed untill I was a living shadow.
Then the courtaines opened, the sun started to glow, and that warm fuzzy feeling I had before had entered its lair once again.
It took a group of people to sit me down and tell me that I was loved, and always would be.
Tis all good, they said.
They even got mad when i put myself down,because of the hate that had grown inside of me.
I wanted them to die because I knew what they spoke of was true.
I hated the fact that I kept thinking i was nothing, worthless, and unloved.
But now, 
I see it.
I was wrong. I hate to admit that small little thing. Those few people that were there for me actualy cared. 
But still i had hatred left in my heart.
I was eternely wounded, my heart shattered to peices.
But somehow i found the will to live.
I turned the hatred into words, and soon all the hatred that i had felt had vanished into the heavens.
Now all I have left to rember of the hatdred that grew inside of me is this poem, my cure for hatred.

Reason for writing:

    I started hatin my bf after he dumped me... i think you can guees the rest
