TOXIC PEOPLE

There have been people in my
Life that have been toxic to me.
Some I thought were friends, some
Acquaintances, and sadly--some family.

It's hard being around toxic
People.  Most Drs. say to just
Walk away--you don't need that poison.
But if they're family, you must.

They pick at every little detail,
Take every chance to put you down.
Some say you're a liar and stupid--
Makes you want to hide underground.

Some toxic people can be teachers
In school.  You turn your work in
On time--but they don't believe you did
It yourself, you're a liar according to them.

Or when your Dr. finds a physical
Problem and says you cannot take
Gym--when the teacher is told--she
Wants to know who you paid to fake.

When you get a job--things go
Well.  But sooner or later you
Have a co-worker or a boss that
Always yells or reprimands you.

And when you finally get home--
There is still no peace to be found.
Your toxic family member figures
Their turn has come around.

Then something from another toxic
Family member shakes you to your
Core.  But it can never be discussed--
So your heart breaks even more.

If you try to talk to someone--
They say:  you're a whiner, that's the
Past--get over it.  They don't seem to
Care it's affecting your health.

I will never understand why people
Act this way.  I wouldn't do it
Myself, but I can definitely see why
Some think suicide ends it.
