Why Hate?

Why hate?
Why push someone else down
to lift yourself up?
Is there no other way for you?
Would it be so fucking funny
If you were the one being pointed at?
Shoved to the ground?
Stepped on?
Can you learn?
Or is it too late for you
to see the error of your ways?
What can we do to teach you?
Or are you simply incapable
of feeling empathy
putting yourself in others' shoes?
I feel so sorry for you.
I can only wonder at you
at how empty your life must be.
We will help and hold
and do everything in our power
to help your victim
to support the innocent
to make sure they understand
they are perfect exactly as they are.
You, however, are not.
And that's the saddest thing of all.

NO!

A single word can't hurt anyone
Can it?
What about when it's spoken
to a child?
Words like faggot
freak
retard
spaz
homo
dyke
queer
lesbo
moron
What new words will bullies
of all ages
come up with next
to say to some poor soul
who had done nothing to anyone
(nothing except try to live their life
figure out who and what they are
their purpose in this life)
all to make themselves feel better
about their own pathetic life?
Since you and I
are smart enough to know
to understand
that there is power in every single, little word
let's us
you and I
use one in return; 
NO!

Thank You

When I thought I was at the bottom
you held me through the pain
gave me words
and music
set my soul free

And when I kept sinking
lower than I could imagine
you were the knot
at the end of my rope
that I held on to for dear life

A nervous cat had nothing on me
I trembled at the slightest sound
your voice calmed the storm
chased the demons
told me I would make it through

I believed in you
even when I didn't believe in me
you were always right
so smart, so strong
the answer to my questions

Now I'm so much stronger
no longer afraid
of what the future holds
and still I have the music
now I sing the words

I've let go of the pain
free to dance happily
you are always there for me
friends no matter what 
the future holds
