Hatred is a cold and dark place
a torture chamber locked from the inside
it sentences your soul to bitter exile
in a dreary wasteland
where a miserable death awaits
It's a method to run away
from confronting your own sadness and regret
a hollow refuge
from the vulnerability of understanding another's suffering
or confronting your own weaknesses
It's easier to resent
than to face the harsh and hurtful truths
easier to point fingers
than to acknowledge the fractures within
Hatred demands no sacrifice of time
no patience to heal mutual injuries
it quickly absolves you of the responsibility
to make amends
Hatred is the easy way out
a self-inflicted grudge
that poisons everything you touch
it will never lead you to forgiveness
never offer salvation
never soothe your guilt or mend your scars
If you cling to hatred
it will consume you
slowly and quietly
destroying and consuming everything in sight
until there's nothing left to devour
but yourself
