Dark Night, Hatred, Shadow Work, and Acceptance(Please Pray for Me).

[Sacred Fool]

Just know that I'm facing my shadow self right now....

If you desire more feedback, amigo, I would say that "shadow" is the operative term, but that you are not facing it, you are enacting it.

Recognition that it is in play is a step forward.  Learning your relationship to it is the next step. 

Acting it out can feel important in terms of loosening the flow of pent up rage, but the more serious work, I would suggest, is done when one is past that particular stage.  It's done softly and graciously because at that point you have a lot more respect for all involved.  And I can say from personal experience that it can take decades or lifetimes to discover the meaning of softness and graciousness in this context.  Just look back on this in forty years and you'll see what I mean.
