Venomous

So much pain......
I can tell I've been poisoned....
With every kind of poison known to man....
and more....
I close my eyes, ready to give in.....
But then the lights come on....
I no longer feel any pain....
Is the poison gone?
No.....
The poison....
It's still there....
My poison....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They told me I was lucky. That I owed them a favor.
That the poison that ran through my veins could now be controlled.
What they didn't tell me.....

Was that it

wouldn't
