Niave

That word hurts
it debases my thoughts
holds me to ransom
five crumpled letters
leave me deeply creased
and unsure of myself
of where I stand
and what I know
Are those letters
ever used affectionately?
with warmth or love?
or purely
to demote
and dismiss my view
then pale my understanding
with ridicule?
