Nonchalant composure <br />Carefree words <br />A scythe, that’s his tongue <br />Decapitating your pride <br /> <br />Heads get bowed <br />Voices are lowered <br />A whip of insults <br />Ripping away your self esteem <br /> <br />Faces get downturned <br />Smiles turn to frowns <br />Sandpaper speech <br />Rubs your confidence raw <br /> <br />Does he regret? <br />Does he lament? <br />Does his heart want to repent? <br />That itself would be a blessed event<br /><br />Dereck Gibbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mean/
