Poison Soul

When nerves ignite and emotions rot,
Negativity and hate infect thought,
The poison soul - destroys your world.
Spreading decay and infestation,
Seeping thoughts of despair and self denigration.
The poison soul - black as coal.
Try to cure the darkness brewing deep inside,
But the darkness writhes because it is alive.
The poison soul - will take its toll.
Heart will darken with a sandpaper-like grit.
Smoothing joy into a pile of imperfect s**t.
The poison soul - is it empty or is it full?
Full of the devastating memories or nightmares so evocative.
Or empty of care and a love so provocative.
The poison soul is a burden to us all,
And yet, there’s no resisting its call.
