Innocuous
To define someone is a task,
which word? how many? how honest?
The English vocabulary stretches onward.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I found five needles
And with each I sew your quilt.
So
relentless
and
pretentious
to everyone you meet.
With every little show
these stitches are easier to sew.
And as a
reprobate
you should surely know,
the blackened thread gets blacker,
but you just can't let it go.
You are violently twisted,
as the definition suggests,
you're a
contorted
individual
that doesn't pose a threat.
Ah yes, you read it right.
For all your will to fight,
your lack of might
labels you
innocuous
.
That's correct, you're harmless.
These needles pierce the quilt,
they thread in every word,
and as you lay your eyes upon it
you realize you can't be cured.
