I pollute my lungs
breathing in acrid black smoke
that billows from you
…
the stench of anger
lingers on my hair and clothes
contaminating
…
negativity
spewing venemous hatred
no silver lining
…
antidote for your
cancerous toxicity
↓
positivity
…

Focusing on the positive is a great life choice. Cheers, Brenda
So hard to follow through with at times…but I am trying!
Yes, it requires real effort. But if you surround yourself with other positive people, then all that positivity reinforces yours. 🙂
FANTASTIC!!!!!! The ONLY way to live if you want to be happy. What a fabulous post and wonderful advice. 🙂
I keep reminding myself!
Love it! Awesome poem. Maybe we can pass out T-shirts to those toxic people that say TOXIC, then we can all avoid them, or hug them and tell them jokes until they laugh or explode…IDK, we might need to hold them down and tattoo TOXIC on their foreheads, some of them are pretty STUBBORN!
Great idea!
Very well said! Pithy!
🙂
Preach!
🙂
YES! So true – wise words.
Thanks…a needed reminder for myself!
