NaNoWriMo Day 12: Words Have Power

Bully, bulldozer, girl with the poison tongue

And false confidence

My grace is an illusion, my benevolence, a myth

My feeble mind, fertile ground for black magic to take hold

How long has it been rooted deep within?

Where did it come from?

Can I lay down my weapons?

Shed my recalcitrant skin?

Be reborn anew?

Will I be impeccable with my word? 

Will I allow truth and kindness and love 

To set me free?
