What's more, I have likeness of one!

the 12 given words:
polite drown escape
exulansis (n.wandering restlessly in the fog)
diabolist (devilish or fiendish)
seethe soften fanfare accelerate mess likeness
adroit (nimble in the use of the hands or body.)

I don't wish to be impolite
But I'm utterly crushed
Tried to drown my sorrows
To escape from this exulansis
A diabolist a throwback on my
very existence

Seething with frustration
More than just in anger
I just cannot soften my stand
A fanfare ought to do it
Must accelerate my resolve
Got to get the mess out of this

I'm even better, see!
Adroit and ambidextrous
What's more, I have likeness of one
Why can't I be more human than just looks

    Your protagonist seems sad and frustrated. This intriguing piece of writing makes me wish for a whole series of SF novels to elaborate on the poor fellow's dilemmas.

    More human than just looks...a good question to ask ourselves!

    Haha, I think he should have bigger aspirations than being human. :)

    I think frustration is the bitter taste in the mouths of so many these days, your is skillfully worded

    much love

    In this piece I see a relentless desire to prove oneself, at war with fear that nothing the protagonist does will ever quite measure up.

    Reminds me of Jungle book... and the Monkey song.

    I certainly reconise those feelings Hank.
    Excellent poem and good use of words.

    I think the orang's are perhaps better than people ~

    I really love the question you left us with. Not having a way of expressing oneself in a constructive way is extremely difficult

    One might be better off not being human

    Yes, "more human than just looks" Definitely a question we need to ask ourselves.

    I wonder if being human is that hot.
