Free Verse Poem 2

Hello everyone! Here's another poem for you to enjoy. This one came out a lot better and more poetic than the last one, so I hope you like it given that this is, like, my third or fourth poem.


They approach hungrily like sharks to helpless minnows.

The smiles on their smug faces radiate anticipation

I sheepishly look downward, the logo emblazoned on my chest

A mess of lines more like a spider’s web than words

“Faggot” they say.

“Where’d you get that ugly rag?”

My reserve of defense bankrupt and empty, cobwebs forming, rot impending

“I bought it” I utter, aggression absent and elsewhere

Barely a pause before the can of sugary liquid renders the logo a sticky, putrid mess

Forced laughter thrown on top, obscuring

Soon, Wolves in the Throne Room are buried like the famished dogs they are
