Adapt

If her words were any indication,
Then a simple touch would kill me

For toxic people know not the poisonous secretions
Their secrets can sustain

And there is no antidote for anguish
Assigned by the aggressor

Nor for the self inflicted insignificance
Of one with immense insecurity

Yet isolation is no solution.

Because yes, poisons can be avoided
But they can also be advantageous

To the growth
To the evolution
To the immunities

Of perseverance
