Toxic

Anything can be toxic

My mind turns against me

The lingering thoughts fester

Deadening my brain

Most things are toxic

Sitting still begins to hurt

But movement stings the most

My body hurts either way

All things are toxic

Taking a deep breath requires effort

A gasp escapes my lips

Reminding me life goes on

Anyone can be toxic

People come and go

Taking up space

Then leaving a void

I am toxic

My mind

My body

My expectations

How do you stop the cycle

Can you make it better

Will I fix myself

Or will the toxicity

Take over me
