They use the words
To describe what they see
Not knowing
That these words
Wound me

Broken
Weak
Deceitful
Distant
Lost
Vengeful
Destructive
Depressed
Anxious
Nervous
Addictive
Lustful
Loud
Secretive
Manipulative

These are the words
They never use
To tell my tale
Not knowing
These words define me

I dine with angels and demons
See me, feel me, taste me, smell me, HEAR ME
