Selection from Essays of a ticking time bomb

I'm a beast;

I am your worst nightmare a fierce competitor;

The very site of me makes you cringe and your palm sweat;

You fear me in ways you never knew fear could be present;

When I am near, you watch what you say;

You articulate your words with a finesse that lour’s others to believe your horrific tales;

You breathe dishonesty;

You pray for others demise;

You pretend to care for the well beings of others;

Though, you are only interested in their possessions;

Those few that you own are tarnished;

They are tainted with the evils, too unsavory to fall from parted lips;

I fear you just the same;

I quiver at the possibility of your nasty ways slithering into the confines of my space;

When the light hits you your image looks as if you have wings;

Your hair is flowing beautifully;

Your skin radiantly clear;

Looks can be deceiving in this case they flat out lied;

You pose very well for the camera;

My life has taught me much more than you realize;

I could smell you coming from a mile away;

You enjoy listening because you don’t have very much to say;

When communed with others you tell stories about your life, stories you heard others say;

I know well, that is why you scurry along when I come close;

You flee to your dark quarters;

You fear what I may say;

I sat in the booth just behind yours to listen to the garbage you spoke;

My eyebrows raised at the gullible crowd leaning close to your words;

I got up on purpose to visit the bar and make notice of my presence;

You quickly made an exit as you apologized for your rudeness, something was pressing at home;

Remember I know you;

Go on and tell them who I am;

Go on tell them who you really are;

You stand there in your deceitful suit pretending to be wrapped in clean skin;

I know the true smell of rotten meat;

Your flesh rotting upon your bones as your heart is nothing more than a dried fig;

I watch as your brain swells in search for lies to cover up your list of mendacity

I will conquer all as I sponsor your forfeit to continue this battle;

For I am your worst competitor;

The fear of my exposing your hurtful traits will be sure to send you on your way.
