i hate you, and i know how to use such words
i want you to feel tne pain you bring me
i want you to meet your god,
and wach him spit in your face

no soul living or dead could love such a rech,
no god who loves his son could show sypathy for the devil

light the fuel to burn a hole the frees my love from your hands,
you will not smother my light
you will not condem me to your name
in the simetry of hearts i will watchyours struggle and die,
and i will feel nothing but relief

i am my own saftey, my own home
i need no roof, no food
i rather die then take drink from your cup

from silence hangs my body,
from darkness runs my words,
i will stray from sanity and light if it allows me to see your blood,
i know you could never love someone who you treat this way.

you know nothing of love,
you know nothing of god,
but god knows you, his eyes see all after all
you will be judged,
i embrace my hate for you, like a blanket
it is fimiliar......

light the fuel to burn a hole the frees my love from your hands,
you will not smother my light
you will not condem me to your name
in the simetry of hearts i will watchyours struggle and die,
and i will feel nothing but relief

    nice. I like it.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I gotta ask what was done to brew the hate from up above and down beneath

    ah seven, how much you continue to progress since the very first sevensins poem i was fortunate enough to read. you just keep getting better and better. :)

    i felt every word you said here and i'm not about to give you my two cents on the hate. there's a home for you here, where i hope you feel the love we have for you. on the days when things aren't going well....these two lines, focus on them...you'll be just fine.

    and we'll all be here waiting for your poems and songs.

    a father and a son can be the greatest of friends or the strongest of enimes.

    coleen, thank you. this was kinda just written to be written. i feel frightened by it to be honest. my own hate can be frightining.

    writing to be written, i figured as much, that's why i have endless amounts of faith in you. you use your poems and music as a release which in itself is a positive thing but like i said before you just keep getting better and better with every song/poem i read.

    as for being frightened by your hate, i think i'd be more worried if you weren't able to see that the hate can have a negative impact on you. your concern shows that you know that. i could go on about hate's detriment to you, but i'm afraid you'd feel as though i'm lecturing you and that isn't my intention.

    i just wanted more than anything to remind you how important you are to us here. how impressive your work is and continues to be. and just to make sure you know that you are one hell of a good guy! ((((seven))))

    I read the poem yesterday, liked it, and thought that was it.
    Not so. It really stayed with me the whole day, especially "I am my own safety, I am my own home".

    It truly is a beautiful poem. We Italians are not as afraid of hate as you are, perhaps because we use the term more casually, as just the opposite of love.
    Hate, or perhaps better anger. An important weapon of resistance and change, in my eyes.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    "you will not condem me to your name"

    I think I see what you mean now...

    I don't believe in hate....I believe in love....only....that's why I should be a Christian.....hate doesn't exist in my books.....it's a useless emotion.....I don't like this poem......preaching hate is the wrong way to go......
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    i hope i do too. one of the things about being 16 is that you're still painting in the numbers. but i will say, that this was written in the heat of the moment. and wile my anger and hurt remains, color can sometimes dissapere when your in a moment and return when your head can focus again.

    "it's a useless emotion"..... ISN, I don't think you could be more wrong about something so powerful, and to me it doesn't sound like Sevensins is "preaching" anything.

    well, then we disagree.....I think hate is only useful for murder and abuse.....in other words it's useful.....and posting a thread with the title 'embracing hate' on a public forum can have a subconscious effect on people, if it was 'embracing love' I think it would be wonderful.....everyone jumped nad said what a good poem it was......how can we have changed so much that a poem called 'embracing hate' is considered 'good'.....

    I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What bothers me is when some people have such strong opinions on something that they limit the creative minds of others. To say that one has not truly experienced anger or any other kind emotion is to say that one has not truly lived. I also believe in the freedom of speech, and if I want to post a works entitled "I have killed" or "slavery"...then I should have the right to do so, and also the right to say "Its my life and I don't expect you to understand it". After all...it is just a poem.

  • i have no intention what so ever of preaching hate, and i am anything but a hate filled person. i was haveing a bad day, perental mental abuse can fuck a kid up sometimes.

    Don't think that you have to justify yourself Sevensins....you don't. Write what you please, it is a free world the last time I checked.
