Cruel Words

a sky of angry screeching
demanding
like a raptor in the wind
doesn't have the impact
that simple tweeting brings
a predator's words rip
into flesh tired of life
not accomplishing
anything
but the sharpening of the knife

    some hash realities here. Sometimes people can cut you deep and emotionally kill you. No true good person would do that on purpose.

    beautiful contrast

    this begins so full of noise,
    but then the despair
    - "flesh tired of living" -
    drowns out the rest, the sound of defeat becoming deafening.
