Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Toxic

It's too hard to be in this situation I'm in
They all neglected me, my friends, my kin
No one seems to want me anymore
And so, I stayed secluded behind closed door.

With this illness that somehow made me "toxic",
Helpless as they say now that I am sick.
My presence seems neglected from the way I perceived [it]
I don't know if I still have the strength to live.

To be continued... Writing this put me in so much pain.
