Hell Hath No Fury Like a Man's Self-Loathing

 Woeful

Is life's

Walk

For the 

Man

Who 

Balks

At denying

Himself

The 

Childhood 

He never

Had


Don't speak

Of

World view

Steeped 

In self-pity

Or

A victim's

Lament


Injustice

Neglect

Abuse

Need be

Rightly affirmed

Voices

Paralyzed

And

Exiled

Must be 

Liberated


Pain excised

Self-destructive

Rage

Brought 

Safely

To light

Where 

Unmet 

Needs

Can be 

Acknowledged

Energy redirected


Love's

Transformative

Grief

Must freely

Be allowed

To 

Unfold

Through 

It's cyclic 

Seasons


An 

End to

Blame

Shame

Guilt

 

But 


A travesty

Most profound

Is 

Committed 

When 

Journey

To 

Reveal

Completeness 

Is

By-passed


The 

Child

That isn't

Afforded

That 

Subsequent 

Opportunity 

To 

Be assured

Of

His

Worth

Cherished

As 

Life itself


Wholly 

Completely

Welcomed

Inclusively

Home


Is

Destined

To 

Wander

The earth

Among

The walking

Wounded

Believing

There

Are 

Only

Two choices

Attack 

or 

Be attacked


He 

Need not

Wonder

If 

There exists

A Hell

For 

He 

Has never

Seen

Beyond

It's 

Horizon
