Sep 2016
your voice was as toxic as poison
and as alluring as a new song
trapped in your cycles
I found myself

I broke out, I broke free
I'm healthier than I could ever wish to be
I threw myself into school, work
I'm making new friends

I smoke a lot more, sure
but that's not the worst it could be
I haven't lost any weight
and I'm saving my money, see

So leave me be! Leave me alone!
Your toxins don't deserve my mind
