Love is Easy, Hate Takes Courage

Love love, love
That's what they tell me when I am hurt
By spreading light, I am light
That releasing positive energy leads to happiness
By not destroying  the real me

Forgive, forgive, forgive
That's what they tell me when I am wronged
By being the bigger man, I am a bigger person
That letting things go leads to happiness
By not letting my past haunt me

Forget, forget, forget
That's what they tell me when I refuse
By letting my grudges go, I let pain go
That holding no negativity leads to happiness
By not letting my enemies control me

Ignore, ignore, ignore
That's what they tell me when I feel attacked
by not responding, I am responding
That not acting out leads to happiness
By not reacting to darker me

React, react, react
That's what I tell me when I feel attacked
By responding, I am responding
That by acting out leads to happiness
By reacting to darker me

Grudge, grudge, grudge
That's what I tell me when I refuse
By holding my grudges, I let pain go
That holding negativity leads to happiness
By letting me control my enemies

Was, Was, Was
That's what I tell me when I am wronged
By being the honest with myself, I am a bigger person
That not letting things go leads to happiness
By letting my past haunt me.

Hate, hate, hate
That's what I tell me when I am hurt
By spreading Darkness, I am light
That releasing negative energy leads to happiness
By not destroying  the real me

Which is truly easy?
What is really difficult?
Is love which is supported by everyone the world over
Or hatred condemned by the human race

Is it easier to go against all recommendation
Or to embrace the reality of your life.
What if denial is easy?
But acceptance is difficult?

To this end I continue on
My mad quest to live life
On my terms and mine alone
No matter how hard the path is
