There's a word
called "deserve"
I believe should
be unheard

It's a word
that's a lie
and has caused
lives to die.

The ones that
gave up hope
before hanging
from a rope

Cause of a lesson
they were taught
Falsehoods taken to heart
Hollow and distraught
while falling apart

"I don't deserve love"

This unholy lie
isn't from above.

Love is a need.
A message one
should heed.

Ironically so,
I'll say this
before I go,

"'Deserve' deserves to die."

This is a horrible word.
One that never
should've been heard.
Well, I guess this is the poem that came out about the word I hate.
This word is a wolf in sheep's clothing.  It's a bit paradoxical using the word I hate to write this.  But paradoxes are part of life.  Contradictions everywhere.
