Hate

If hate is a fire,
Then give me a pool.
If hate is a trick,
Then I hope i'm outfooled.
If hate is a rhythm,
Then I'll break the beat.
If hate is a hunger,
Then I just won't eat.
If hate is a power,
Then I am stronger than he
And if hate is a person,
I pray it's not me!

I'm no bitch!

So what if I speak up for myself
and don't take any crap from you.
I would rather be by myself than with
some guy who thinks he's the best
skateboarder or whatever you do.
So I won't wear tight clothes for you
or laugh at all your jokes.
I believe in being strong.
I believe in myself.
So what does that make me?
A bitch?
Really?
Then thank you, that's the best
compliment you've given me.
