What are they like
Toxic people?
If you don't know
Then you might be fortunate enough
And if you do
You still might be blessed
Now that you know
How to spot one
How to deal with one
And how to not be one
I read somewhere
Toxic people
Are the kind of people
Who make you think
You are crazy
For being a human being
For being you
Because they only
Consider themselves
With emotions
And the person that helps
And in case they do help you
Congratulations now you have life long debt
And unlimited supply of gaslighting
Toxic people
I think they are easy to spot
Because they seek attention
Toxic people are usually someone in the middle
Of drama
Toxic people
The best way to deal with one
Is to distance oneself
Be careful
It's contagious
Toxicity
You may fee obliged
To live with the person
Because that's the role and responsibilities you have taken
But in the end
If you end up spreading toxicity yourself
Would that be better alternative?
Toxicity really is matter of survival
If it questions
Your very identity as a human
Yet we are obliged
To live with toxic people
And cooperate
Because if we 'ran away'
Wouldn't we be cowards?
Shelfish?
Unrealistic?
Toxic people...
