Do You Hate Me When Poem by Laurie Pilner

Do you hate what makes me different
The way I don't conform
My views of the world
So different from the norm

Do you hate the fact I'm fearful
Never sure of what is safe
My past has been a scary one
Living hypervigilent is such a waste

Do you hate it when I'm angry
Forgiveness has yet to come
Control is not always possible
Buried deep the angers from

Do you hate me for mistakes I've made
I've truly tried my best
No one can achieve perfection
Please think of me no less

Do you hate when I withdraw from from you
Push hard for you to go
Breakdown and cry that I need you
And pray you love me so.
