When I was three,
I thought life was perfect;
I thought everything was fair
I thought everyone cared.
But then I learned Life's dark secret:
Life wasn't what I thought it would be.
I learned that Hate was like the plague,
And there's no knowing what the future holds:
The answer's very vague.
Still, I thought Life was pretty,
'Till Hate came and affected ME.
Hate came into my household with yells
And shouts,
And no matter what they tell
To me, there's no way out.
My parents- they fought,
And Life's child, Hate,
Against all odds,
Took them.
Hate took them and separated them into Two,
And broke their bond that they got when they said,
"I do."
Then, the child of Hate found me.
She wrapped me up in her blankets of melancholy.
I absorbed her to the point where she spilled from my eyes,
And spewed from my mouth in blood-chilling cries.
Her name was Sadness,
I soon learned that.
And for a while, I thought I was alone.
I thought I was solitary with Sadness and a sore feeling
In my heart.
But then I met someone else.
Her parents had also split from One into
Two.
And then I met another, and another.
I realized that so many others also dealt with
Two.
Two homes.
Two parents.
The sense of being pulled into two,
Like the rope in an endless tug-of-war,
Where no one seems to win;
It just goes back and forth.
In marriage, you become one with the person you choose:
One person,
One machine
That works in sync,
And
One, supposedly,
Unconditional love.
But now,
Many babies,
Children,
And teens
Have to go through their parents
Turning back to Two
Because of Hate,
Followed by a meet-n-greet
With Sadness
That they have to
Tolerate.
How can parents be so selfish?
How can they be so cruel?
Don't they even remember
About the "Golden Rule?"
Do they understand the consequences
Of them splitting apart?
Does it not come to their senses,
That they'd break their children's hearts?
Don't they know that in Love, Two is made One,
And in Hate, One is made Two?
