Self-Destructive Social Designs

It's simple to be terrified
of everyone
and everything
When every time I
open my mouth
the Worst of me comes falling out.

And fears are always proven
true when you go
searching
for their hate
You bust your nose
on sharpened woes
before they
even know your Name.

Maybe they don't hate me.
Maybe there is no good defense.
Maybe it was my only strike
Against us ever being friends.

But I will bite my tongue in half before offering you a real amends.
