Bottled Up

Here, I am to tell you that I am overly blessed

I come from love and care, to this I confess

Others' circumstances have them too hard-pressed

In the debate of Nature versus Nurture there's something that we should address

By Derek Owens on Unsplash

Amongst pharmacies are a plethora of drugs made in factories

Vials upon vials are produced massively

Tested, inspected, rejected, and defected, especially the ones bad for thee

In correlation to human congruencies appear rather similarly

"Show me who your five friends are, and I'll show you what's next up on ahead"

Moving fast nowhere, like on a giant hamster wheel, can fill one up with dread

There are time in which we feel stuck or moving in circles, words like this have been said

Toxic people in toxic places with toxic faces, on the inside can make you feel dead

By Chang Duong on Unsplash

A term people commonly call drugs is "product"

Something that has been Created or produced, a result of such conduct

Whether it's made in industrial systems and regulated or sold on street corners, apart of either construct

Human emotions are like chemicals in a bottle that can violently erupt

By Luke Stackpoole on Unsplash

The drugs in bottles that are made are products of their environment

You can remove a person from their roots, but often times you cannot remove the roots from their person, sometimes to their own detriment

The defining of a person not based upon their nurture takes several time increments

Overcoming one's circumstances and happenstances to become who they are and not what their habitat has molded them into is difficult to implement

By Felix Mittermeier on Unsplash

That being read a person is more than where they come from

Some are turning new leaves, changing their fate from the past that's already been spun

Some are newly conceived or just born, their stories have yet to begun

They are more than the destination and journey of to and away, they run

By Meor Mohamad on Unsplash

Drugs stored products are placed in vials

Human emotions that are bottled up can cause a person to turn vial

Some are new, some are old, but for a time they've been there for a while

Sometimes they cannot be rationalized or organized, they should not be put away in a file

By Maksym Kaharlytskyi on Unsplash

A vial is static and change only occurs when upon it it is enacted

A person is dynamic and changes occur on the inside and external when energy is used and extracted

Changes from their environments onto them compound effects that are impacted

The vial cannot emit change, unlike a person's actions which are interactive

By Sunder Muthukumaran on Unsplash

People are more than products of their environment

Even alone, they can bring the change, for their own good or detriment

As people we are gifted the ability to change the landscape, it's possible to choose our impediments

An oath to yourself that you don't allow the world to change you, but only you can do so, that can be your sacrament

By Womanizer Toys on Unsplash

You are a person, not a bottle, don't deny your feelings and live in denial

By becoming a bottle, those emotions can expire, turn rotten, and even vile

Make sure that you process these feelings, like venom that has to run its course, sometimes it can take a while

Unbottle your emotions to bring inner peace, please don't be vial
