The Worst Word

A brief bit of context - I've been in a couple of talks, and read a couple of things (including this) recently, which set me thinking. This is an early part of an unformed train of thought.

The Worst Word

No-one means to hurt by it

Or to single anyone out

Regardless, it remains the worst word

Malignant, dripping into the soul

Apart you stand, outcast from the herd

Lost to your identity, separated by who you are

You are not normal.

NO-ONE IS.
