Energy Stealers

when there is a loss of energy
is it medication, sadness, or depression?
When we can barely move 
Is it because we are surrounded by energy stealers?
They arrive in many forms
TV, computer games, I-phones 
but the most effective ones of all
Are the dissatisfied, the angry, the revenge seekers
The ones who exude negative energy
Their “can’ts and won’ts” become ours
if we do not make our escape
If there is a steady diet of them, 
we are doomed to lose our own energy
Beware of the energy stealers
If it feels wrong, it is.

Ah, that advice fits so many scenerios, true. "If it feels wrong, it is." Don't do it!!!

I have to go by my heart; she never steers me wrong.
