Living, Breathing Hate

Out of control, deep
in their twisted rage,
made me their target
from a tender age.

Hearing me scream as
my skin was broken...
Out of their mouths
only venom spoken.

Everytime they touched
me I cringed inside-
Their evil dancing eyes
laughed while I cried!

They felt excitement;
It hung in the air-
One kid out of four...
It just wasn't fair!

To be knocked down each
time I tried to stand-
What was in God's head
as my life he planned???

Living, breathing hate,
and times it by two...
All just for me who
still only loves you.

This child feels sorrow,
with pain and despair,
loving many who
in return don't care.

Hear my prayer Lord as
my spirit's soul weeps,
praying to never
awaken from sleep.
