Open and Close

Nature and its beauty, 

People and their hearts. 

Deciding not to observe all this, 

Instead, shutting them out. 

Close your eyes, 

Block your ears. 

Look at the darkness, 

Stare at the void.

Listen to monsters, 

Act as their toy.

To hate is to not see the beauty, 

To hate is to not feel the warmth. 

To hate is to lose, 

What you could have warded.  

Do not hate, 

The darkness is a scary place. 

Begin to love, 

And share the light. 

I do not hate, 

For I choose to love. 

Love is beauty, 

Even when it pains. 

There is no joy

Where there is hate. 

And what is life

Where there is no joy.

So open your eyes, 

And take in the beauty. 

Feel with your heart, 

And see what I see.
