a form
disfigured with thorns
ready to hurt others
with no provocation
a mind and body
consuming itself
by venom retention
consciousness unable to see
pain stored in folds of memory
letting malignancy be
without excavation
kills wellness
of self and others
mutual destruction

There are those people alas… they are probably even sadder than the one they hurt.
