Wordsmith

I don't accept responsibility
for words you release upon my person
if I don't like  I will random edit
and proceed with caution therein
my brother taught me, when I was six
how to deflect a verbal attack
on my well being, and it served me
he told me I was a glutton...
you dont know what that is ?
do you ? he said, twisting my arm
up my back..oh yes oh yes I do
its a beautiful mermaid with long blonde hair
and I had thus completed the transfer
later in life when he was burdened
by idiots at work beating him down
I reminded  him, not to let others
chip at his soul, with this  story,
and it works..don't let words cut you down
they're manufactured by other's
have countless meanings..
from endless people who often
only repeat rubbish that they 'heard'
