Repellent
I am intolerable.
Why do people talk to me?
Touch me?
View my open arms with grace?
I am the common factor in falling apart.
I don't try to push people towards the exit,
But everyone's gone.
I'm sick. Disgusting.
No one wants to hear my voice.
My skin burns skin.
At least I warn everyone.
You shouldn't want me.
Join the future. Go away.
I know it's crossed your mind before-
Trust me. I've probed it.
I'm a monster who devours thoughts
And preys upon emotions like a psychopath.
I tried to suppress it.
Apparently hiding is bad.
But when a lion comes to the open,
Sensible creatures flee.
And people run far away from me.
