I Am Toxic

I am toxic to 
those around
Better off 
Never found 
I am bad either way
My reputation has me dismayed 
Those who come never stay
Or they only aim
To send me away
I am toxins
In the air
Filling your lungs
And the atmosphere 
I am deadly
But never proud 
My words have and will 
Never be found
I am alone in this cold world
Like a horrid smell 
From the depth below 
Though I'd consider myself
Awfully bold.
I will never be one they hold
But only to which they all will loathe


They streets whisper secrets 
Of me
How  I am found in parts of the sea
All that stray close 
Never are safe 
Because I am the toxin 
And the waste.
Nothing more deadly have u ever faced
And nothing of which can I erase
