Poisonous words

Angry, disturbed I sit in the dark,

Feeling my life is a worthless junk,

Every memory now seems an error,

Was every step taken drunk?

I fear the morning that lies ahead,

Fear my hours of working there,

I tremble walking through that door,

The confident me, now hides in fear.

So what if I made a mistake,

I am a human, can’t I err?

But the way you bullied me,

Makes me question my own worth.

Your words like knife, did chop my smile,

Decibel high, they cut and maim,

With head hung low, I fumble more,

Your spit on me validates the claim.

I wish you could be a helping hand,

Pat my back and say it’s fine,

I wish you could remember the quote,

To err is human, to forgive is divine.
