Gnarly & Narky
Not feeling very happy with myself today
Full of self hate & pity
The dark side wells deep within me
Wanting to spit fire and venom at anyone near me
Grievous bodily harm to anyone who even looks my way!
Attack … attack
Pick … pick … pick
Nasty ugly barbs bubble below the surface
Hidden behind a mild disdain for life in general
Not wanting to be helped
I sit stewing and simmering like a warm winter’s casserole
Yes … I too stick & burn
And sometimes it takes great effort
To clean the remnants
Hardened black ugly goo
That tends to resist the toughest of scourers
In fact …
That’s what I feel like
A scourer …
Rough and abrasive
And if you scrub too hard
You end up gnarly & out of shape
Caught up with ugly scraps
From the many feeding frenzies of the day!!
