hate is a lovely thing

a poem

word to june jordan because what the fuck do i owe you?

why should i pour into someone who would happily watch me suffocate in a  house ablaze with fury?

i pray your teeth rot from the inside out so you'll cease to call me out of my name.

i pray your feet render you immobile each time you prepare to strike. 

i pray every slight and insult you've uttered begins to decompose your tongue.

you are more than deserving, i promise. 

a weak, infinitesimal speck you are. 

and you know it.

you forfeited your humanity to put on a costume. you bare your calcium-sapped fangs and beat your hollow chest. 

you abandon curiosity to stand firm on what you know. 

because to be sure is to be safe. 

you inflict pain because you believe you're a nuisance. 
that deep down, you're unlovable. 

and I am here to tell you that you are.  

grow up or fuck off.

softly,
