Little love



Love isn’t hard
I just hate you
I fight every second
To deny hurt can emanate from me
But the reason it’s hard is I hate you

Hate is deny who you are because I can’t stand it
Hate is I don’t understand who you are so you have to change it
Hate is you are not me how do I deal with it
Hate is what society is so you have to be it

The trauma for the one being hated
The society teaches hate so that’s easily what every man learns first
To love, now that you have to learn
It’s easy to love features or first impressions of a person or to hate those exact things at first glance


To love, is to learn not to take that out on the person
Love is hard
It’s me against it and I’d be a fool to deny how hard it is
