Hate Does Not Live in the Heart

Hate does not live in the heart

The ego

And it's little wretches 

Pride,

Shame,

And 

Fear

They must live in a fortress

That surrounds the heart

Because when anger flares

And it feels like it's squeezing your chest

It is the ego being proven wrong

And firing off its weapons

To make a scene

Because if it didn't

The heart would simply smile

And say

I love you anyway
