I cannot be around you

I feel a chafing around you

With your coarse attitude

You’re grotesque ego means nothing to me

You harangue in your hoarse tones

Anyone who you feel opposes you

I find you ignorant and arrogant in truth

Unctuous and obstreperous you be

Vacant of beauty manifesting all that’s ugly

Yet through all of your toxicity

Know that I will be here for you

Should you seek to change your attitude

And discover your love and light

That resides deep inside of you

Beneath that darkness, anger and hate

And find the fortitude to eradicate

And wipe these negativities away.
