Poison.
Your influence is poison
Debilitating
Incarcerating

Paralyzing
I can feel my throat closing
Burning
Singeing as it courses through me
Draining

Like a box jellyfish
You're slimey.
Transparent,
No heart

Like a brightly colored dart frog
You camouflage
Hide among the trees,
The Ferns
Pretending to care

You don't fool me
With those chameleon eyes
Pointed in every direction
You're a snake
An infection
One that spreads
Like leprosy

You 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 within

You're disgusting.
Slithery
Underhanded
Rude
Bitter because your perception is skewed

You'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 toxicity

Time to end this
vicious cycle
To suck the poison out
You miscalculated,
Underestimated your prey
I'm not helpless
Your reign, ends today.
