Sticky Wicked Thing


A quicksand plague that riddles people with a dormant
or prominent
desire to perpetuate misery and destruction: Evil.
I heard God's instructions, I listened to my mothers teachings on eradication.
but see, this dark, sticky wicked thing,
im addicted to its presence
not within me but swarming around my effervescence.
without it I'm subpar at best.
tell me it doesn't feel nice
to shine brighter in comparison.
