Poison

Poison 

Poison runs through my veins
 Circulating throughout my entire body
I can feel it deep in my bones
Darken every aspect of my soul
I use to have the antidote 
I use to have the will to heal 
But the poison is strong
Suffocating any ounce of hope 
Taking the flame and putting it out
Poison runs through my veins 
Circulating through my entire body
I can feel it deep in my bones
Robing me of everything 
Joy, hope, love, connection 
Feeling like I can’t breath
Suffocating within my own skin
Can’t voice what’s wrong 
How do you explain the poison
That flows within.
