It sticks on the walls

It wanders around the house

it disguises itself

as love

and good food

that you devour

because it was made for you

sometimes

it stays hidden behind the materials

they buy for you

or the care

you receive

when you become physically ill

but when it comes out

it doesn't affect your physical health

it takes a toll on your mental one

your brain fills with haze

your veins just on the edge of

exploding

because this is the toxicity

you were trying to avoid
