Poisoned by your venom.
Hammered into the ground with every step I take [backwards].
Ego murdered, on a daily basis.

Thats a really good little poem there; you managed to tell a powerful story in only twenty words, well done! I thought in particular the second stanza was interesting, you have used such a strong metaphor. Grea work!

Wow, very powerful. The strong words and punctuated line breaks really communicate the emotion. I like how the art relates as well. Awesome :-)

i like your line formatting. it draws the reader smoothly from the first stanza to the third. you've summarized the slow drain that a person can be on one's psyche very well. the bluntness of the piece conveys the bludgeoning feel of being "hammered into the ground." as a side note i am not sure if "backwards" needs both brackets and bold. siting on its own line emphasizes it to begin with, but that's just me, visually it works very well.
good stuff!
