H-A-T-E

Don’t hate me
Don’t hate me because I am white
Don’t hate me because the life I choose
Not everything goes according to plans
People wander off in life
They try new things
They go places
Can you be my place?
Be the place I want to go to when I feel down
Let me be the outcast in a class
Just don’t hate me.
I want to be the electricity to your light bulb
But I fear I will let you down
Possibly dim your life
Please don’t hate me if I do
I take risks to please you
Are the risks worth taking?
I feel I’m wasting my time
Is it true?
Just please done hate me
I want to succeed in everything I do
School, sports, everything
But if I fail in a class
Please don’t hate me
I go through life
Fearing a three sentence word
“I hate you”
Please, don’t hate me…
