Poisonous friend

A serpent in disguise, with words laced with venom, A poisonous friend, a heart that's become solemn. Their presence feels heavy, a burden to bear, Their whispers of doubt, fill the air with despair. They chip away at your confidence, bit by bit, Leaving you questioning yourself, a fragile, brittle fit. They twist your words, and distort your intent, Leaving you feeling drained, and discontent. Their actions are subtle, a slow, insidious spread, Their negativity seeps, into your heart and your head. They drain your energy, and steal your joy, Leaving you depleted, like a wilted, broken toy. But recognize the poison, before it takes hold, Protect your spirit, and let your story unfold. Distance yourself, from their toxic embrace, Find friends who uplift, and fill your heart with grace. For true friendship is a treasure, a beacon of light, It nourishes your soul, and makes everything right. So choose wisely, the company you keep, And surround yourself with love, where your spirit can leap.
