Tolerate?

Am I different from you?
Do you tolerate me?
I am different — but,
What is different?

Do you think you can tolerate?
Does tolerate mean to negate;
To accept with a hate-filled heart,
To purposely set one apart?
I am different — but,
What is different?

To tolerate is to call less.
To tolerate is to suggest
That you love with deep seated spite,
The person you “know” you don’t like.
I am different — but,
What is different?

To love is not to tolerate;
To love is to end all the hate.
To love is acceptance of all;
To Love is a much greater call.
I am different — but,
What is different?

Am I different from you?
Do you tolerate me?
I am different — but,
What is different?
