Genetic/Narcissistic Rage

The web can sting, with venom loud,

a shifting, faceless, restless crowd.

But sharper still, the words at home,

cut deeper than the ones that roam.

A screen can burn, then fade away,

its echoes die within a day.

Yet voices close, with every breath,

can bruise the soul, can seed a death.

The net is cruel, but it forgets,

your parents' spite still leaves regrets.

A child grows heavy, bearing scars,

more toxic than the web’s bright stars.
