Poison.
Your influence is poison
Debilitating
IncarceratingParalyzing
I can feel my throat closing
Burning
Singeing as it courses through me
DrainingLike a box jellyfish
You're slimey.
Transparent,
No heartLike a brightly colored dart frog
You camouflage
Hide among the trees,
The Ferns
Pretending to careYou don't fool me
With those chameleon eyes
Pointed in every direction
You're a snake
An infection
One that spreads
Like leprosyYou infect,
Inject your venomous ideals into the hearts of innocents.
Does this bring you pleasure?
To hurt? To corrode?Like cyanide you spread
Shut down
Snuff out any light that flickers withinYou're disgusting.
Slithery
Underhanded
Rude
Bitter because your perception is skewedYou're not right
You never have been
You're rotten
No kindness within.I'm done
I want to break free.
I'm tired of being
What you want me to be
It's time for a cleanse
An antidote
A remedy for your baseless toxicityTime to end this
vicious cycle
To suck the poison out
You miscalculated,
Underestimated your prey
I'm not helpless
Your reign, ends today.
