My Lyric Poem.

I hate it when people hurt me
I hate it when people can’t see that they are bugging me
I hate it when people stare at me
I hate it when people call me this and that
I hate when people hate me cause I’m black
I hate when my family is struggling
I hate when my brothers are starving
I hate it when people lie
I hate it when people cry
I hate
I hate
I hate everyone
Including me.
