Poetry Corner: “Freeing Yourself From Hate”

Freeing Yourself From Hate

It could be that someone has hurt you so badly
that 21 years later you still suffer madly

Yes it was so unjust
that unfortunately hatred seems a must

But look at this way if I can make a suggestion
to deal with your psychological indigestion

Firstly, giving the right to make you continually suffer
haven’t they succeeded in causing you the most harm possible
do you want to give them that power to make your heart go so sour and curdle?
really escaping all that hurt then becomes somewhat simple
open up your heart and give yourself some self compassion
why continue the suffering by not letting go
by realizing your pain and acknowledging it is there
and you deserve to say good-bye to it
caused by a worthless piece of shit
untangle the brain of your pain
