roar of the judgmental voices
putrid and stale as rotting corpse
dark mind
derision dripping rancid hate
couched in sweet social prescriptions
dogma
rough edges made smooth by the tears
falling from my pariah's eyes
guilty

Agreed. Often I've felt the words people say hurt me more than the times someone attacked me physically.
