Character Defects
Inconsideration of others
without any causation
intolerant glance
feeding frustration
In arrogance
refusing to see
far too selfish
no respite from thee
Self-seeking
who will please
immense, your greed
living in disease
No patience for you
nor your defect
in your mirror
malice you reflect
without any causation
intolerant glance
feeding frustration
In arrogance
refusing to see
far too selfish
no respite from thee
Self-seeking
who will please
immense, your greed
living in disease
No patience for you
nor your defect
in your mirror
malice you reflect

Author's Note
Inspired by the "Peeves" competition. I live in kindness, forgiveness and compassion but I struggle with people who lack those values, Toxic people do not deserve my empathy as it bleeds my soul dry.

Dear H,
Thank you. My comment about toxic people seems to contradict my forgiving spirit. However, it is a matter of self preservation. It is detrimental to allow those that are toxic to take up space in my head. I’m glad you appreciated the write and taking the time to comment. Bless.
