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

Crazies

People are always changing
One minute their sane
Then their mind is blazing 
Society has a term 
They call it crazy
But to to me society is just plain lazy

To lazy to learn why they snap
Or if anyone ever cared to
Love them back
Prescriptions u give 
As if they were all
guinea pigs 

Dancing around in 
Shiny wigs
To you they are numbers
With dollar signs 
Nothing but a wast of time 

But they are people 
Too
Just like you 
Uniquely designed 
But through the destruction 
Of man kind
They are corrupted
Brains easily disrupted

But you diagnosed them as 
Something insane 
Something worthy to be contained
So u lock in rooms
And give them prescriptions
Nothing of which could ever fix them
Man kind destruction
Hide him away
Don't tell the people what we find today
Man kind corruption 
But that's nothing new

Jokes on them
They're not the healthy few 
But only the corrupted too.
So on a scale of 1-2
How often are u feeling blue?
Silly me I outta take a clue,

Depression rates high
I swear give it a year,they'll touch the sky
Tell me how these people get by
With little to nothing every night.
