Self-loathing: a poem.

created by impishlaugh

(idea) by impishlaugh (6 d) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Thu Jan 11 2001 at 8:20:41

I thought I'd like being a hollow shell
eating my way of out life
from the inside
gnashing my teeth on my own ugliness
and savoring the taste of a slow death
but now that I've hit bone
I look up with wet eyes
as if to say
"Is this all? I don't think
I've reached the main course..."
But was I really that substantial
a dish to begin with,
underneath the lovely meat?
I lick my lips,
making love to the looking glass
and bite my tongue
to divert my mind
from the pain in my empty gut
