HAVE I BEEN?

I used to be kind
Now I hate
I hate so much
I hate this hateful self
I’ve grown

From what seed
Did this hate grow?
And who sowed it
In me?

I wonder
If the me I was
Have been
And the me I am
Will always be

Broken:

I think all of us question this from time to time . . . hate is a strong word
sometimes we kick ourselves around a lot more than is needed . . . I know I sure do
but an insightful query here.

With time, you become what you allow yourself to and I do not see hate.  

Keep writing and smile will you?
lol
awesome writing btw
xxoo

Hatred truly does disable the emotions and render them confused.
Good write!
