Putting others down,
is a defense mechanism
for the inferior psyche
of the lesser person:

If One can put others down
so as to appear higher than them,
One mustn't exert any effort
to elevate One's Self.
what do you do
when it is all behind you.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
...No

No.

I sat in the middle of
the cold stone floor
and I imagined I was
somewhere
more tranquil

a place that I
could be

and a place
that I could finally
                                    smile

a peaceful place
free from the pressures
my mind brings me
free from                                life
and
from love and pain
and hurting
a place

that was so perfect
I had to come back
to Earth
because I am flawed
entirely
and I do not belong
in such an absolute place

I am not

There is in love a savagery of malapropriation
A seething anger that manifests as a cutting dig
Or passing word to hurt
Thrown out to harm in well placed execution
Often when most vulnerable and justified by misplaced emotion
"You made me"
"You don't understand"
"What dont I understand?"
Well it's neither a lack of communication or love
When an individual feels unlovable by no hand of yours
Often it's a retort to avoid discourse that has no part between you
For the discourse lies elsewhere and not with you
