Are you
              feeling bitter ?

Fingers bloody
from grasping for
stones to arm your tongue

Catapulting words
that stick deeper than
the thorns buried
beneath my callused feet

A bitter soul
bearing a bitter tongue
armed with all the things
I've tried to run away from

   Tell me

       are you

           feeling bitter?
