Hatred

Hatred is acid
which corrodes heart's eye to rust
fool's blind lullaby
self-inflicted wounds fester
poisoning soul with decay

Melissa; Great wisdom! It is truly poison to the soul! Replaced with love, the healing begins...Ellie

This was awesome. I really liked this one. Such truth!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Melissa,
You have written another thoughtful poem, very nicely done.
