Rebuttal

My waterfall of words is more than just conjecture,
so do not list my weaknesses in yet another lecture.
Misery begets misery. The truth of this is told.
So when you berate me, intimidate and scold,
the intermittent piercings of sharp words I spew out
are but a reaction to the cruelties you tout.

Prompts for today are  pierce, intermittent, weakness   conjecture, miserable, waterfall. Image by Kusuma on Unsplash.
