Toxic

Your words like Poison 
Toxic In the air 
This wasn't for you
You spread like a virus
Funny how this year 
I stopped being immune 
It keeps growing
Faster than I can fumigate
You say you want to help
"Help for my own good"
While you continue to spread 
Your negativity

I just need to breathe 
I forgot the sweet aroma
I forgot the sugar scent 
That comes with
the great outdoors
The beauty that lies ahead
The laughter
That comes with friendship

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
