Staring into the darkness,
We often disclaim
The worth, the stature
OF one's name.
"Never enough,"
We think in our minds.
We,re always happy
To stay behind.
These deficiencies
That plague a soul
Are the depth and breadth
Of mankind's hole.
Each word uttered
By a self-hating man
Takes away more
Of humanity's sand.
The hole grows deeper
And the world grows worse
As another man speaks
his self-loathing verse.
