Your word- Edge wise

By freudian-slip

Just imagine yourself for a moment,
something similar to a kind,
human spirit.

Who loves, and is loved.

Who takes chances, and feels pain.

Perhaps even has remorse-
when once again,

you fuck up...

or hurt others.

I imagine it's impossible at best,
for you to manifest your darkness,

into something remarkable.

Half Beast
Half Human

giving others at the very least,
a minimal opportunity to speak their mind-

have an opinion
change a direction

make a difference,
where a difference needs to be made.


but that would entail you letting me get a word in edgewise,

and your ability

to feign humankind

and slip into a skin.
