PERSONA DANCING ALL OVER MY SOUL

How do you describe the person you hate?

Do your eyes narrow?

Do your brows furrow?

How do you begin to express such distaste?

Do your teeth gnash?

Do your lips curl?

How do you describe someone so loathsome?

Does your tone change?

Do your fists clench?

How do you find the words to attach to someone that brings about such awful wrath within you?

Do you spit words out like venom?

Do you lace your talk with sharp curses?

How do I describe the person I hate?

My eyes darken.

My brows droop.

How do I begin to express such distaste?

My teeth clench.

My lips are bitten raw.

How do I describe someone so loathsome?

My tone grieves.

My fists fall numb.

How do I find the words to attach to someone that brings about such awful wrath within me?

I murmur my words with despair.

I lace my talk with forlorn criticisms.

Now that you know, don’t you understand why?
Why I don’t like to talk about myself.
