Toxic People
Know any???
They NEVER have anything good to impart,
they fondly embrace doom and gloom!
Everything with them is all grief and strife-
they walk in and take warmth from a room!
Bad karma and drama they wear like a badge-
"that will never work", they are known to say!
When you say hello and if you give them a smile-
they will wish that you have a bad day!
The face in their mirrors closes it's eyes-
it turns quickly and it runs away!
They will destroy your hopes
and stomp on your dreams
for this is how they "play!"
Anything at all you cherish and adore
they will "mission" to seek and destroy-
and don't let there be
a "love of your life"-
stealth "heart annihilation" they'll employ!
If you've ever been in a relationship
that seemed toxic right from the start,
that's what it was.... and do know this-
that toxin affected your heart!
If there were tiffs, spats and arguments,
and you never quite knew why they were-
toxic people love to spew their venom,
and make everything they touch impure!
If you have possessions,
you've worked hard for
and have achieved some measure of success,
their envy will turn them green in the face,
and their jealousy will cause hateful stress!
If your life has a landfill of "toxic people"-
"BEWARE - TAKE HEED - FULL ALERT!"
Don't take them lightly and don't turn your back-
you've been warned because you they WILL hurt!
So take this advice,
not just once.... BUT TWICE!!!
They are poisonous toxins.......BELIEVE!!!
Get them out of your life and I guarantee-
"non-toxic" better people you'll receive!
