Hate...
A word far overused today,
Something I don't know if I'm capable of.
People say-
"I hate tomatoes!"
"I hate squash!"
But they really only don't like it.
So I won't use the word "hate" falsely,
I won't say something that isn't true.
Though,
I really do dislike you.
After all you've done,
After all you've said,
After all you put me through,
I don't hate you,
I don't like you,
But I do,
Forgive,
You.

The author's comments:
Lots of people in my life have inspired this. At school I hear a lot of people saying that they hate each other, but. They laugh their heads off after. I don't know if they realize it was hate that made some of the most well known and despised tyrants in history. One example: Adolf Hitler.

YES! SO TRUE! I take the word "hate" as something very, very serious and it's just not funny to me... I love the honesty of this poem, although personally, I would elaborate some more. Love your work, keep writing :))))
