Poem: Hatred Is Like...

       This blog is for me that others may read. I spend at least an hour on each prompt then go back and edit it then post it. If I come back to it I come back to it but if I don't then oh well. I have so many stories in my head and get depressed if I don't write something so this is more therapy for me. Enjoy!


    I wrote this a year ago. I left out a few stanzas to shorten it and so it'll make more sense.

Wrath

Hatred Is Like...

Hatred is a weed,

Wrapping its tendrils around you,

Nurturing this poisoned seed,

Will only choke the life from you;

Hatred is static,

All you hear is noise,

All thought is erratic,

As you wallow in vengeful ploys;

Hatred is a deep black hole,

An ever expanding pit,

It grows and devours every soul,

But you will never quit;

Hatred is a poison,

A deadly venom coursing through every vein,

No cure is there, not a one,

You relish in your endless pain;

Hatred is a chronic pain,

So intense you go blind,

Hurting others lessens the strain,

But leaves a mark on humankind;

Hatred is a sin,

It shrinks your immortal soul,

But you always let it win,

To feed that bottomless hole.
