Life.
I hate and love that word.

Despise the word,
and cherish it.

Caress it.

Mock it.

Get out of its grasp.

Pull myself away from it -
unravel the truth behind it.

Hold it close to my heart.

Shove it down other people's throats.
Make people believe it.
Make them understand.

Make myself understand.

How four letters can both make and destroy…my life?
