Dartboard

by dovemarie

With insulting discord,
I'm the victim of a dartboard
Feeling slashed by a Roman sword

People who never gave me a chance,
Tossing me a disdainful, haughty glance
Felt like the centurion's lance

"Why, why?!"
Is all I could cry -
When people took aim
And made a bull's eye

Dart after dart,
Tearing me apart
Insults from minds limited and narrow
Cut my bones to the marrow

I felt like writing a poem about all the insults I've endured over the years, and I mixed some of the Easter season in with the references to Roman sword and centurion's lance. Thanks to Pixabay
