Ethel Hallow
every chink in my armour
every awkward behaviour
every facet remembered
with clinical precision
pulling threads to unravel
draw attention to my
many shortcomings
and proudly mocking
I knew the lamb
beneath the wolf
the source of all the cruelty
and felt sorry
I lacked the malice
to turn those words
into weapons
and why would I?
I had no idea
how hurt one must be
to bottle up all anger
and turn it on the weak

Opulent Pox
Built to form your
foul semblance;
the bones of
every endeavour
piled high to topple in your favour
the world will come to haunt you
for your gross
incompetence
for the people
you have wronged
for the lives that
you have riven
for the life that
you are living
Your wretched grin
will be kicked in
and the columns
of your fallacy
pulled out from
under you
This curse is too
good to be true.

The fever
The rabid mouth
will always hunger
would never sleep
for the hope of peace
It is a sickness
the slathering jaw
that we claim to
have no love for
yet we gather
for the want of war
for the misanthrope
for the end of hope
the hugging skies
the hawkish blight
the black cascade
as the fever breaks
as it transpires
that we have traded
all reason for
‘all hope is lost’

Anxious punks
social situations
casts an irrational
range of emotions
makes us vulnerable
of any expression
any misspoken word
any fumbled attempt
at simple interaction
the unthinkable war
the foe is your own brain
tools honed to a fine point
to cause maximum grief
but we are never
alone if we remember
how many of us
suffer the same
we face it together
we support and nurture
for we are stronger
amongst one another

Worst Witch
What I lack
in confidence
I make up
with sheer will
to drag myself
from the throttle
of my many
insecurities
dodging the hexes
of our self inflictions
those whose bite is venomous
pales in comparison
casting incompetently
make a meal of my sorcery
to this day I’m still suffering
the taste of my own fucking medicine
I just makes things worse
I’m the victim of my own curse
but I will keep on trying
to accept my flaws aren’t failings
