i am poison
a plague
given human form
anger and rage
distilled
into pure villification

i touch no one
no one
touches me
for fear
of black death

i am bubonic
carried by rats
made
from the depths of hell
tortured and tormented
until all that remains
is

a vaguely human stain
of
no consequence

my teeth
shall tear the heart
my hands
were created
to only break
my tongue a razor
for cutting
my face
the definition of pain

i am nothing
a shade
a shadow
a poltergeist
a demon

worth nothing
