Toxic


A souless being

With a growing,

Misunderstood heart

Trying to beat the dark

Trying to reach the light

Avoiding the toxicity dragging him down

Just beating away the comments yet soaking them in.

Being dragged

Being tortured

Being hated

Being loved

So near the light

Yet it seems so out of reach.

The toxic life just reaching

Stronger

Heavier

Binding

Building

He is toxic
