The Hate Within

The hate within

Hate looms within
breaking down my own consciousness
am left to ponder death or the
one I shall take

A question asked
a fate I will not yet face

Hate runs within
draining into self unconsciousness
left to fear the demons that haunt
and the unforgotten memories that
plague my existence

A question asked
a fate I will not yet face

Hate runs within
poisoning the stream that
flows through

forever cursed with bitter envy
taken over and
forever falling

I submit to the endless struggle                                                             

handing over thy hand
to my maker

A question I have asked
its fate I will not yet take

Awaiting it
soon
fearing it

I ponder the notion

Hate now runs free...
left to see the reckoning
shattered beneath my feet
the path I am unable to pass

A question asked
a fate lost in translation
one I'll never partake

yet

There will always be hate
within

A fight I can no longer win..
handed over

 to the man above
