Pestiferous

 

She was a

            Sneering,

            Jeering,

            Leering

Woman, constantly

Making some sort of

Pernicious face at one person

Or another.

It seemed that she could never

Stop her pestiferous nature

From popping out

And penetrating into the

Heart and soul of the

People who merely tried to

            Help her when she was hurt,

            Guide her through the dark,

            Ameliorate her by stopping the pain,

But she could not stand to be

            Helpless

            Defenseless

            Powerless

To all that assaulted her body,

For her pestiferous nature

Stemmed from the pestiferous disease

Which spread underneath her skin

And damaged her mind,

            Her heart,

            Her soul,

Until she was ready to scream

And shout,

            “Please! Just kill me now

            And let me be, because this

            Feeling you are giving me,

            This knowledge that I am

            Vulnerable, is the worst part

            About knowing I will die!”

But the woman –

The scared, weak woman –

Could not admit she was susceptible

To anything,

And so she continued to

Attack others

Just as the disease attacked her.
