Stigma

Frightful feelings flush his face, damned to dance with his disgrace, stigma stained though sight unseen, damaged days depress, demean. Silent secrets simmer, sulk, hardened hairy heartless hulk, oracle of all obscene, decoy demons daunt his dreams. Witless words waging war, baleful bully, beastly bore, cancer catches in his craw, fury was his fatal flaw.

Profound write here, Danielle!! I've always felt that anger and stress were the gateway for cancer and you've expressed that just beautifully here. Great writing!!

This proves a fun and engaging read, Danielle! The final stanza strikes a proper chord of physical manifestation of toxic rage. The playfulness masks a deeper message that resounds. Great work, Danielle! Warm regards, John.
