Why Hate? Poem by Cecelia Cole

Do they hate...
The way I walk
The way I look
The way I talk
The way I read a book?
Do they hate...
The way I dress
The fact that I
strive to be my best
or that I want to reach
success?
Do they hate...
That I speak my mind
don't rush myself and
take my prescious time
that I am willing to be kind?
Do they hate...
The way I wear
my hair
that when it comes to
other people's opinion's
I really don't care?
Do they hate...
that I'm gonna be me
all day
everyday
24/7
