They Will Hate You

 I make no promises Other than this one
 To everyone who follows The warrior’s long run:
They will hate you

If you choose to be honest
 And stand up for what’s right
 You will draw all their anger
Their selfishness and spite

They will hate you
If you won’t sacrifice
Your own integrity
Just to make them happy
This I will guarantee:
They will hate you
 If you won’t fire back
With anger, loathing, hate
If you will not reflect
The scorn that they create
They will hate you
 If you make them all feel
 Inferior because
You refuse to act
The way a hater does
They will hate you
If you show grace, control
And aren’t as sensitive
As the one that hates
And unlike them, forgive
They will hate you
 But when you have withdrawn
Your light from their dark cave
And left them all alone
To their malice, a slave
To only be surrounded
By others just as dark
And wallowing in grief
Without even a spark
When posturing and ego
No longer come in play
And they are all alone
This truth will haunt their day:
 They will miss you
