Falcon2001 Posted October 19, 2001 Report Posted October 19, 2001 Yay...this was a REALLY depressive day...I was completely dead to the world until 5th period, and then lapsed back into it until I went to Hot Topic with my neighbor...she needed a halloween costume. I'm always wearing mine, of course...but here's the poem. I hate but not an angry hate pulsing with life or sorrow or rage but a dead cold hate, hatred lingering like a tumor deep inside where you can't reach it I hate with an empty hate for the one who stole what I never had what I never tried to grasp and so it's his birthday with candles and kisses while I remember and dread mine sitting at home alone with a half-melted candle and a cake I made myself and it drooped in the middle and tasted like ashes in my mouth the same mouth that I spout lies from in my search for truth I hate with a baseless, unconscious hate that needs no reason for I know that it's not him that I hate he is not at fault and she is perfect and I am flawed again like a crystal darkened with a single fracture almost splitting it in two (almost there, but not yet) so it falls and shatters on the concrete floor of life I wonder if he knows that I despise him and fantasize about taking a small sharp knife and slicing off all his skin and watching all the muscles ripple as he tries to escape I hate but it's a deep hate that doesn't get out much and gnaws away where I can't reach it I hate (Why?) I...hate him...I think... (Why?) He stole her! (Did he?) Well... (Or did you miss your chance, coward?) Yes...I hate... (Yourself?) Myself CiodenDarkeye Page of The Mighty Pen
Peredhil Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 Strangely enough, one might think, this was one of the inspirations for my "Generations" piece...
Alaeha Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 Not all that strange. It's a good piece... I rather liked the contrast between the different sorts of hatred that was made in the first little bit... Hatred and Anger have a lot in common. There's the Hot variety that blinds you to logic and reason, leading to rash decisions; and there's the Cold variety, which leads to careful aggression as you try to protect yourself while attacking the other. (Primarily because by maintaining your own health, you gain more opportunities to harm the subject) There may be others, but that seems to me to be the contrast that was pointed out there... But then, that's just me, too. I may well have been reading it wrong.
Tasslehoff Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Falcon. You guys have a Hot Topic too? HmMm. Cools! I got a great sticker from there. Talks about penguins stealing my sanity. Classic. Its great.. Well anywho.. Very interesting poem on the hatred and perception on whether or not you missed her, or he stole her. Its often hard to tell what exactly happened.. Clearify it exactly, and this poem shows that. Should we really hate the other person cause they gained where we lost? Is it there fault? Anywho. I suppose I am really just mumbling at this point.. I like the poem though. New style of writing. New thoughts.. Very well done.
Ayshela Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 and the interesting, and often missed, point that all too often what we hate in others is what we hate in ourselves but refuse to acknowledge.
