Let Go Of The Hate.

PoojaShah · Jan 26, 2018

Burried deep inside my heart
I exhumed my soul
It was bony and emaciated
Very little had remained of the whole

I was afraid to touch it
As it was rickety and brittle
Would have fallen into pieces
If I had pushed it a little

If only I had nurtured it with love
But hatred was my way
I didn't forgive, I didn't forget
Accumulated enemies everyday

The thought of making them suffer
Felt good for a while
But it depreciated my soul
Making it ugly and vile

But one thing I know
That it's never too late
I'm gonna strengthen my soul
And let go of the hate.

You have a way with words. I was a lurker at your Indian writing forum until you shut it down. : ) Brings to mind the quote -- Hatred (or anger) is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Hurtful words or actions against us is like a cut to our ego and hatred against those who say or do it is like letting it become a wound. The best way to overcome those hurtful words or actions is to forget it as quickly as possible so that the cut will heal quickly.
