Lines, arcs, hooks and dashes <br />these are the shapes of my scars and my gashes <br />Misuse, solecism, waste and abuse <br />these are the reasons my soul bears a bruise <br />Corruption, rape, hate and impatience <br />these are the motives and the roots of my violence <br /> <br />This is me <br />This is my kind <br />Peel the skin clean <br />Then you will find <br /> <br />I am not afraid <br />Of their hate <br />I won't escape <br />The reprobate <br /> <br />I am what I am <br />the pariah you can't stand <br />I am who I am <br />the tattered and torn man <br />I am where I am <br />because of you and your demands <br /> <br />This... Is the odium <br />This... Is the gravitas <br />I... Am irascible <br />I... Am Ineluctable <br /> <br />DEATH!<br /><br />Crazy Eight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-of-the-figure-eight/
