Haters

By AP 

Haters say I’m not goin make it

But I say stop hatin’

They don’t believe

But I believe I would achieve

To get what I need

They think I will die

But I will live and succeed

And hold my pride

    AP,

    Belief in oneself is often the only thing that is needed to call yourself to action. Being told that, “You can’t achieve” or that, “You aren’t good enough” only add fuel to your motivation fire. Thank you for sharing your poem with me. Keep your head up and never let go of your passion.

    AP,

    I love your poem and can 100% relate with you. Your opponent’s just want to see you lose. Stay positive and stay strong. Ignore their hate as you should smile through the hate and watch as their smile turns into a frown as you prove them wrong.

    This poem is very emotional and controversial. I think it’s okay to hate people, but only to a certain extent; any type of abuse is more than hate. To hate is to dislike someone strongly. Trying to overcome hate from either point of view; the hater or the person being hated. The emotion in this poem is very controlling and fearful because death is mentioned while holding your pride. You got this and remember the best is yet to come!

    This poem is very powerful and reminds me of a song called Hate Me by Lil Peep. People that say they hate you could be jealous of you or not like something you did. It’s important to look past your haters and remember they have their own problems too. Most people that have hate built up in them are experiencing it themselves and need to take it out on someone else. You got this and remember the best is yet to come!
