Instead of sitting here wondering why don't you click on in and read me?
Of Course you won' t remember me. This whole time you've been trying to forget about me.
You all have. Shutting your windows at night. Running from your cars into your houses, restaurants, buildings.Making sure all your doors are locked,your pets inside.
But let me remind you,that I have never left.I've only been silent. Sitting in wait.
I've always been around but I have only been an ugly reminder every night on the evening news, until now.
Now I draw closer everyday. What exactly am I?

Some Kind of monster hidden from view of the world? One with fangs,in love with a beautiful girl? Or a man with a smile to wide to fit your screens,full of talking people?

But you forget that those aren't the only monsters in this world.That they truly are only the antiheroes,the ones that kill things like me in the end.

What a riddle Am I.
For I am truly a monster.
One that never hides.
I am here.

On a bus.
On a Bike.
In your clothes.
In your veins.
I am your daughter.
I am your son.
I am your dog.
I am your cat.

Admit it.

At times I'm you.

I'm not fancy.
I'm not educated.

I happen.
I'm your worst mistake.
I'm the words that you hope to never say.

For in all my disgrace but glory,
I end up better than you.

Forgive me Mother.
I am Hate.
