“What is poison ? “
A friend once asked
“What do you consider to be poison?”
Poison is any incorrect decision, you knowingly have chosen.
Poison can be the ego of a weak hearted man.
Who willingly devotes himself to do the wrong thing just to the get the upper hand.
Sometimes it’s better to be the bigger man and not worry about the upper hand.
Showing fake personalities to impress
While you clutch your true self in the the other hand.
Trying way too hard to make sure everybody understands.
A man that loves to show off his success and does anything to be the best.
I get it too at times, I know the difference between being fake and knowing what you’re doing is right.
You don’t have to be egotistical to know that you can have anything you want in life.
Devote yourself to love and peace and come follow Jesus Christ.
Now you can have some peace of mind.
Or so you think that’s the case
Remember you asked “what is poison?”
What I’ve learned is poison is a thing that comes in many ways.
Everyone searches for power , right ?
is it wrong or right ?
Sometimes i feel power when write,
powerful and unstoppable and it keeps me on the track to write.
Most have a taste of power and their souls it just devours and they see power as light.
So now the powers in control as it takes you to the light.
Little did you know the power wasn’t light
you were caught up in your mind so far that you lost your sight.
Whats more powerful than power ?
It’s money, explaining this would take an hour!
Money runs the world
Without it you can’t do a thing
That leads back to the other two problems we are speaking about.
Money is the root of it all
A piece of paper and virtual currency brings you the ego, the power and money and then it mixes it all.
He says
“Don’t tell me there’s more”
I tell him
“I get asked that question a lot”
There’s a serious problems with making excuses
Making excuses to have something to blame for your laziness
For example
“weed is the thing keeps me this lazy”
In reality the lazy one is the person
blaming the weed for his problematic
Laziness.
Making excuses won’t make you change
Excuses will keep you the same,
As you lie to yourself to keep it maintained
Theres also a thing called Fear
Fear creeps by every corner, even if you think it’s far, it’s near.
Nearly invincible unless you decide to
Eliminate the fear.
Fear is a poison that holds back a majority of people
They hold back due to fear
Knowing there is only one life and yet
They keep that fear and grasp it.
I’ve been scared and fearful myself but I found a way to overpass it.
Fear will hold you back from being who you are
Thanks to that fear,
you unleash the poison called anger
Anger could be brought out by a certain event
It could already be boiling inside you and you can’t prevent
I asked him
Has there ever been a moment where you have lost your temper
So damn mad that you don’t seem to care
Pushed to the point of an event that you don’t like to share ?
He didn’t have much to say after I asked him that question
He told me he had to go and what happened next there was no way to prevent it.
I didn’t get to finish with the things I still had to say
Poison could be anything that a human doesn’t need
I wanted to get him to know how anger can lead to violent scenes
Violent dreams, visuals so real that what you thought was a dream, was reality
You start to confuse reality with irrationality
Looking for vanity, using profanity
So damn mad you are at the brink of insanity.
I wanted to get that out because I saw a change for the worse
and he was more than just a patient, as his friend I put him first.
Knowing that it didn’t work is what hurts the most
I want to write about it so I can show it doesn’t always work
As his therapist I thought I was doing good but it seems I made him worse
In a way I blame myself for what has happened
It hurts because I don’t know what I said to have this story end so tragically.
What could I have said, to have avoided another tragedy
When he asked about poison I didn’t think too much of it
The more examples that I showed him the more unstable he became
By the time we finished our talk, he did not appear the same
It seems that what I said really made him bothered.
He knew that my examples described the exact person that he was
He was poisonous
He was lost and stuck in a void full of hopelessness
He wasn’t the same after we finished our talk.
He went home to his family and grabbed his kids and then took them for a walk
Gave a kiss to his wife and she didn’t think much different, so she brushed it off
He came back with the kids but something was clearly wrong
He tied their hands behind the their back and acted like nothing was going on
The kids were surely strong
No screaming, no crying, no way to warn their mom
She’s not paying attention as she’s picking up the kitchen
He grabbed a bottle and smacked her so hard that there was no way that you can miss it
He runs to the kids and makes sure they don’t make a sound
The youngest one starts to cry
He taped up both of their mouths to make sure there wasn’t a noise
He brings his wife with the kids and tapes her up too
He knew exactly what he was there to do
He stabbed them all till they died and kept on stabbing after
So much blood around the room as he turns the house into a disaster
He picked them all up one by one putting them all in a separate bag
He disposed of them quickly in the graves he had dug in the back
His house was well guarded and full of cameras but he wanted to be caught
He made sure the cameras got it all
He wanted me to see how he killed his family
Smiling at the camera, like nothing happened happily
He took off shortly after burying the kids
He didn’t stop there, he went into his parents house
He killed them too but in a way they couldn’t shout
He shot them while they slept, with a silencer so it didn’t make a sound
After that he disappeared and there was only one thing he left to say.
“This is what I’ve chosen”
“After all”
“It was you who said”
“I am the poison”
