I don't believe in hate

Your toxic words are like rain to me
And I'll rise above them
Like a thirsty flower

Drinking your words forcing me taller
With every sip
Using each drop to grow wiser

I won't retaliate
I don't believe in hate
I would sooner drown
Than rain on you
But that doesn't stop you raining on me
Drip drop drip drop drip drop
Raining on me

Now your intentional silence forms a clouds over me
Darkening my thoughts
And forcing my mind to run wild
Your message is brutal
And your delivery is unkind
But I soak it up just to safe your pride

I won't retaliate
I don't believe in hate
I would sooner drown
Than rain on you
But that doesn't stop you raining on me

Every word you say is a new dent
in my trust in you
You know I'm not waterproof
But you keep testing and testing and testing
Just to see if I drown

Drip drop drip drop drip drop drip drop
Drip drop drip drop drip drop drip drop
I won't retaliate
I don't believe in hate
I would sooner drown
Than rain on you
I won't retaliate
I don't believe in hate
I would sooner drown
Than rain on you
But that doesn't stop you raining on me
You won't stop...
You can's stop...
raining on me....
