Best Pitiable Poems

The likelihood between myself and a beast,
Surpasses my self-grotesque-depiction, at least.
I loath the day I entered this death spiral twirl; 
In this vicious tornado-self-esteem-crawl.

In their burning

To connect emotions
Soft welling they sting
And find their language of wet lashes
Run...

Love,  calumniousness and my calmness.
Caste, colour and religion, castrating me pish. 
Pitiable placability, pendiculation and scurrllity,
A scullion leads ashtray, arrogant, juggling kiss.
In funds gainsay...
