Scumbag
A bedraggled broad
nothing special
never was
lost in the filth
some call life
the muddied perception
scuzzy
veiled in grime
she does not care
she welcomes the disarrayed
the stains of existing
have saturated her soul
how clean can she be
when the world around her is contaminated
sullied intentions
corrupt thoughts
she is a product of her environment
earth is covered in dirt, the earth is filthy
unsightly
she could give two fucks
she hopes her stench will keep others at bay
it does for the most part
sheathed in her hate and scum
she drags herself through the land of the so called living
she will not be cleansed
in this life
or the next
mucking up everything she can
her soul is one of squalor
the smell of rot seeps through her pores
she seeks what soils
unclean
inside and out
a foul beast
with an appetite for the disgusting
afraid of what she calls "holy water"
cleanliness and godliness
two things she wants nothing to do with
she wallows in her deadness
savoring the sleaze of her being
she waits for the the big heap
when the dirt will cover her entirely, at least 6ft

Misery loves company. In her case maybe she doesn't even what that. We are products of our environments but some people resign themselves to their pasts and thereby surrender their future. Thought provoking read, Nikki!

"she wallows in her deadness

yeah, I hear that.. to stay stagnant and wallow, we're all guilty of that at some point.
...now excuse me, this poem is making me itch, I think I need a hot bath, lol.

Something of a "premature burial" in this, if I am reading it correctly (and a psychologically apt one). The burial of pain (with many mini funerals in between, and becoming quite ritualistic) is well brushed into this Nikkiemoe. Excellent write.

"bedraggled"... Thanks, I like learning new words. Wow all hail the queen of filth, so many ways of describing dirtiness, it remains engaging to the end.
Suprising that you didnt go with "she could give two shits" it would of remained on the theme of filth.

She's tainted, broken, yet proud to bear the wounds. Wears the soiled tatters of her being on her sleeve for all to see - a powerful choice made and held throughout. Fantastic in a dark way. Nicely done Nikki!
