Wounded Whisper

Thoughts regurgitated though repugnant, coil of self loathing tightens its noose, venal thoughts a fragmented whisper, to sabotage, undermine, disrupt, one’s frail ego under siege, wounded whisper n as barbed wire plume, internal bleeding one must staunch, if only gumption triumphed, vacuous a notion one brazenly floats, inane virus of the mordant gibe, its origin welded to an anonymity, so vast in its remit, defying bold attempt at confrontation, acid laden cut deep within, over trivial and flimsy oversight, imagined stain, partial blind slip, transgression not worthy of indictment, court proceeding deep welt juror, nodding in consensual conspiracy, wounded mutter, wounded sibilant sigh, homespun crime against oneself

Hi Howard, self-loathing is so sad and destructive to a person's being. You penned this with much sensitivity and skill in conveying the message. It's chilly here in Western North Carolina, and my daughter has creatively decorated for Halloween. Time for some cocoa. Have a lovely evening good friend. ~
