Cracked poem

Workload
Presses.
Push-pull processes
Contain,
Constrict.

Client’s accusations
Repeated ad nauseum-
Words of what’s not;
“Not personal” allegations.

Disbelief at
Venomous diatribe of
Denunciation in an open forum;
Labelled assertiveness,
Unsatisfactory:
Communication,
Responsiveness,
Collaboration.

Serpentine untruths ensnare.
Shocked defence falls on deaf ears;
Is this narcissism or intimidation?

Humiliating threads tighten, pulling,
Reopening dealt with scenarios.

Searing stress surges forth,
Wringing panic pervades,
Ruminating anxiety builds
To numbing worthlessness.

Tumultuous tears tear,
Renting body emotions spew.

Rage twists to shame and guilt.
