Misanthrope

I am a battering ram of ill intention
I am a wounded person

I was wounded while very young
I have made it my life’s mission —

First, subconsciously,
Later, with rigor —

To wound others in return
family, friends, strangers, humanity…

Even in oblivious moments
The wound loop is running in my head

I suggest you give me wide berth

For I will find some way to hurt you.

What I’m Reading:

Compassion is a coat of fur I find particularly ill-fitting.
