Polarized Intolerance

And then I felt my soul crumble...

The pain was worse than the shatter of my heart. 

The despair

Hiroshima destroyed in my intestines

Heart racing 

Jaw clenched and stuck

A hinge in need of oil.

Disbelief mounts in a pile that rivals K2

I gather myself

Get up and start pacing about the room

In a cold sweat

Second-guessing my vision

Attempting to regain

Self-control

I return to the screen.

Eyes hop-scotch over the pixels

My heart breaks again within seconds

Love is yesterday's waste

Hope is in the toilet

The unrivaled ignorance, unquestioned conviction, and unbridled hate spewing forth brings salt water to the eyes. 

To hell with

Click-bait hate

On social media.
