Hate was once a full place in my heart,

my reflection,

my flaws,

the ones who've wronged me.

the ones who got away,

the things I never got to say.

Wondering how my heart could pound with pleasure

against the force of pain?

Love was the sun

and every day was filled with rain

but I made a change

I rearranged,

did whatever it took to feel sane.

Now here I am standing strong

bulletproof and staring at the sun.

Love blooms

bursts

beams

I have found it

I have made a choice within me.

With the sun in my eyes,

it is still clear like the sky

the clearest blue.

I choose love.
