I slapped myself just now. My face is numb; Tingling As if a herd had stampeded over my very own right cheek and perhaps a few of the pack had                                         Stumbled Over my very own rough skin, and do you think that hatred                                         Seeps Up into your pores? Or does it                                         Sink Down into your organs because I'd like to know which part of my body will be the first to deteriorate, the first to                                         Spoil Under the weight of my very own hate for myself and everything around me. Do you ever half-accidentally                                         Pause Just to glare at your own selfishness and wonder how you ever became such a vile creature? With venom in your very own blood, How could one ever                                         Plant Such a seed of pure evil like a virus stemming from your very own mind but there you go again blaming someone else for something that's really Your very own fault.

Self-hatred
I slapped myself just now. My face is numb; Tingling As if a herd had stampeded over my very own right cheek and perhaps a few of the pack had                                         Stumbled Over my very own rough skin, and do you think that hatred                                         Seeps Up into your pores? Or does it                                         Sink Down into your organs because I'd like to know which part of my body will be the first to deteriorate, the first to                                         Spoil Under the weight of my very own hate for myself and everything around me. Do you ever half-accidentally                                         Pause Just to glare at your own selfishness and wonder how you ever became such a vile creature? With venom in your very own blood, How could one ever                                         Plant Such a seed of pure evil like a virus stemming from your very own mind but there you go again blaming someone else for something that's really Your very own fault.
