slight

I noticed it
between
tiny

and minuscule,

and
it grew
to measly
as it shrank

from contempt.

Something not
even worth
complaining
about!

Which ultimately
is the insult, pent
by dignity's sighs,
in a matter so small.

I cannot
vent
without

compromise
of some principle
frankly, I do not
hold!
It's that

insignificant.

Just my size
