Dear Hate,
I see you. I’ve always seen you. I’ve tried to not allow you in my life because all you do is destroy those you come into contact with. Let me ask you, how do you do it? How have you managed to gain so much power that you are tearing us apart? You have somehow been able to attach on to something good and completely take it down. You’re full of destruction, anger, envy, sadness, and evil. Your affect is unfathomable. And you start small. You feed yourself from us until we are filled up with so much of you, we become you. You have taken over us, and we’ve let you. I think that’s the scariest part. We have allowed this to happen. Why? I’m not sure. I ask myself this every day. I’m here to ask you something though -- how much more? How much longer will you grow inside of our hearts and destroy our civilization? You are always ready to go off and hurt whatever is in your path. We’ve made the mistake of trusting you. We think you are the truth when you are far from it. You’re a liar, a scammer and all of the bad in this world comes straight from you. That’s a big title you hold. You think you’re a big shot. You think you can’t be stopped and that you’re indestructible. The influence you have on us is incredible, I’ll give you that. But so is love, so is faith, so are we. I’ve seen how successful you’ve been, but I’ve also seen how far you’ve fallen. I’ve seen how the power of love has prevailed through your wars and survived in your wake. Not just survived, but grew stronger than you will ever be. That’s the real power -- love -- not you. And you can’t stand that. You try to knock love down and escape and rid it from us, but you won’t. Love’s powerful and brave, you are weak and cowardice. You may have a few victories here and there, but I can promise you this: you will not win. You are able to alter our image, make us doubt what we know is real. We falter and fail, but we get back up and fight against you. We have the strongest leader on our team. Love brings us the courage and power we need to stand against you. You may think you’re sneaky. You have some plan to take us down, turn us against one another, but you won’t. You fail, we prevail. So dear hate, you won’t win. Love will. We will.
Sincerely,
Those who will rise above
