I'm Damned, Damnit (It's the denial and cover up that's toxic)

DAMNED, damnit. No doubt!
("damn" = “damaged,” “damaging ”)
Damaged & damaging if I do.
Damaged & damaging if I don’t do.

Mere description. No judgment need
apply; nor condemnation unless denied
& covered in which case: toxic. I guess.

Oprah would say “wounded” or “vulnerable,”
but damned does it better and got balls.
My good son tells me he’ll carve it on my
tombstone—DIID; DIID. But I'll be blowing
in the wind: the answer, my friends.
