contemplativePlease Hate Me
If you hate me than I can pass
remove myself from this world
step away from this trail
to find peace in your bitterness
you'd ask why this is my wish
seeking what most men avoid
I'd say that shame will cover me
it's best for all to look away
disappointment would my friend
the companion to betrayals felt
good riddance to the bad they'll say
no more is needed when low is pegged
so please despise this crippled soul
no longer part of your vibrant realm
now with those of fallen brand
better gone than breathing air
the monster vanquished would be the cheer
to a quiet place I could then retire
what little energy the living gave
would be to spit before they left
around the pit none shall stand
reviled, forgotten, cast outside
an occupant wishing none
of the pity or of the love
this last stanza will explain
about the hatred felt within
for the self better expunged
gone at least, goodbye all.
