Numb

I think I give up

I've become too numb to care.

Or I'm too busy wallowing in self-pity

Like the worthless wretch I am,

To notice anything at all.

How sad.

And yet..

I still continue my self-absorbed hate

Despicable I am,

Loathing what I can

Or is it because I can that I do

I! I! I!

I've such contempt for this conceit

How detestable the words

That refer to self

I, myself, and me

The scum beneath feet

The filth littering the streets
