“Born from below as well as above.”

As I reached out with my mind,
In search of my heart’s true love.
I swallowed plenty of hate-filled rejection,
Born from below as well as above.

As I gave out with my heart,
In search of my soul’s other half.
I swallowed plenty of hate-filled misperception,
Born from below as well as above.

As I sought out with my soul,
In search of my mind’s true match.
I swallowed plenty of hate-filled projections,
Born from below as well as above.

As I reached out with my heart,
In search of the many missing pieces.
I swallowed plenty of hate-filled perceptions,
Born from below as well as above.

As I gave out with my soul,
In search of my heart’s true place.
I swallowed plenty of hate-filled rejections,
Born from below as well as above.

As I gave out with my mind,
In search something to appease the fates.
I swallowed plenty of hate-filled realizations,
Born from below as well as above.

Truth is my compass,
No matter the direction.
Between sin and salvation,
Still exists a line.
Love loves to love,
Hate loves to hate.
Where will you turn?
What is your fate?
