Words Like Sticks and Stones

[ledlevee]

Pain makes me small;
it shrivels me like a raisin.
I become an insect
in a world of giants.

I surround myself
with funhouse mirrors.
They crack and their shards
tear deep into my skin,
slicing permanent wounds
through which dreams bleed.

I shroud myself
in a dark blanket of solitude;
afraid to venture out
into the searing sun
of reality.

Glad you like my poems. Some asshole told me the other day that my poems suck and that I'm just a loser who's never actually sold any of my shitty poems. That really made me feel good. That's what this one was about, actually.
