memorialrainbow | 012311 -- Don't Hate Me

Don't hate me because I'm a woman.
Don't hate me because I dare to dream in colors.
Don't hate me because I can weave those colors together.
Don't hate me because I was raised in suburbia.
Don't hate me because I still have both of my parents.
Don't hate me because I want to break free of where I am right now.
Don't hate me if I dream bigger than a small town in Ohio.
Don't hate me if I don't take life seriously sometimes.
Don't hate me because I've seemingly wasted my life away.
Don't hate me because you have no clue who I am.

And I hide from you because I am certain
that you will hate me if you do.

Don't hate me because I don't answer.
Don't hate me because I lied.
Don't hate me because I spat in your face, slammed the door against you.
Don't hate me because I used you.
Don't hate me because I was searching.
Don't hate me for falling in love with you.
Don't hate me for killing you.
Don't hate me for chasing after you.
Don't hate me for being unsure.
Don't hate me for acting like a complete and utter idiot.
Don't hate me for finally finding myself when I left you.

And I hide from you because I am certain.
that you will hate me if you know the truth.

If you have to hate me,
don't hate me.
Hate Him.
