Insult

When you insult me
ignore, belittle,misbehave
it looks like you have
won, made a point

Yet before it reaches me
all the negatives taking birth
and passing through you
do more harm to you,
than it will ever do me;

It is you who end up
drinking a lot of water
for diluting the darkness inside!
