Untitled #4

By Chalin

Malicious emotion
emotional.
emotionless.

despise what
i have become
self-loathing
and betrayal

a mistake that
you made in
bringing me to
this point,

this place
of scars and
nerves

where everything
falls away.
my mouth is too
dry to scream

about injustices
ingrained into
everything i am scared
of; scarred by.

you have gone and once again i Must prevail.

    I enjoy the Classical Rhetoric in the first stanza, but the last line is too hopeful for my tastes. 'my mouth is too dry to scream' nice
