Setting the Mood

I hate you Don’t you get it Why won’t you die Suffocate upon your lies

Nature sucks Almost as much as you Shut the hell up I don’t want to hear it

Spraying acidic words That douses me in hate Bring forth malice Killing me violently

Purge me from this place You have soiled your name And mine Don’t you get it

Just. Die. Now. Poetry.
