Villain

You hate me but I'll still show you love.
When you roll your eyes from seeing me I'll still smile in your face
When you slander my name I will still respect yours.
When you walk past me in my time of need I will still offer you my help in yours.
When you curse my presence I'll still welcome yours.
When you push me to fight I will not fight back.

You will call me weak and gullible, but in my mind I know I'm strong.
It is easy to love someone who loves you back,
but it takes strength to love someone who despises you.
And to love someone doesn't mean to take their abuse.
It means to wish well to that person who wishes harm to you.
It means to show kindness to someone who spews hate at you.
It means to rise above negativity with positivity.

Just as lies run sprints while the truth runs marathons
So does hate run feet while love runs miles.
Your hate will lose its momentum.
My love will endure.
Doing your worst therein lies your climax
every act after decreasing.
My best is continuous and flows like a steady stream.

So if you want to make a villain of me, that's fine.
But you may tire of doing 100% of the work
because I will not stoop to your level.
May God bless you and keep you close.
I'll leave you to Him.
