this ferociousness is just a trenchcoat for hurt
-- something someone did to you,
but you don't need to make others feel that way.

it won't make them understand.
nor do they need to understand,
because only you ever will.

you don't need to join team hate to escape that feeling.
you just need to let yourself feel it,
instead of covering it up.

you're worth so much,
you're someone that can bring beauty and love into this world.

you don't need to hide behind the rage.
you can stop now.
i bet you're a wonderful listener,
and i bet you can bring so much joy, not just to yourself, but to others.
