Toxic

The tall poppy syndrome
Tells of those with one aim
To bring achievers down.
Those under achievers
Too lazy to compete,
This an abyss of shame
Transported far and wide.

Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 4/26/2021 3:56:00 PM The sad truth is that some people are too toxic to be around. Being that self absorbed is never a good idea. This is a marvelous entry, Harry. Good luck! :D Login to Reply

Alexis Y. Date: 4/26/2021 5:30:00 AM WoW! Harry, You used the letter T and composed a good contender for the contest. I try to steer clear of such people. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 4/26/2021 5:02:00 AM Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. People who are always pulling down others are not very likable people. One should be comfortable in one's own skin. Your visits to my page with such descriptive and expressive comment are so reassuring. Sara Login to Reply
