Venom

Venom is gone and so I carry on.
Strange to say that vitriol is no longer here.
The quiet brings peace where once there was fear.

Change can be good as long as it is understood.
Do not run when it comes approaching.
Be someone who is welcoming.
With arms wide open and a mind of reason.
Let all negativity go drifting.

Venom is not a crown to wear.
It should not guide your hand every day.
Better to feel serenity than compound pain obsessively.

Direction comes from a place of choosing.
Take it by the hand and see where it leads.
Open mind and open soul to what might come.
Don’t fret at the shifting winds.
Feel hope replace oblivion.

No need to cling to anger.
Pollution is all it will bring ya.
Leeching away all that you are.
Leaving you a husk with no future.
So let it go, vent it quick.
Rather than let it grow fat and thick.
