Treading Poison

A Person Can Hurt You as Much as They Can Make You Happy

By Anthony FontanaPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Floating in a shallow pond of poison

I feel myself sink

Yet I know I can stand

I begin to drown

Yet I know I can swim

Death is a constant whisper

I'm breaking

I'm falling apart

Yet I know I can get out

But I don't

I let myself sink

I let myself drown

I let myself fall apart

Just knowing that I can see your face

Whenever I close my eyes
