A family or maybe one person

Broken into pieces 

From an toxic parasite that eats away at loved ones

Stopping growth,

crushing bonds 

and shows true colors of its used hosts

Only for that parasite to be seen and unliked, 

Most of all out of place 

To rid your peace of this toxicity

You’ll be Needing the strength of patience,

Pride,

Respect, 

Self love, 

And Self worth.

Not seeing the parasites manipulating ways

Having sight clear as mud 

 Then using the parasite to distract you from your vulnerabilities.

Knowing you are Broken in your own way 

LIke a dropped glass, 

Maybe glued but never the same 

Then again you might be lost in the dark.

But in darkness there is light 

To lead you to your true self 

Therefore giving you the strength you need 

To lose that parasite and grow.

To make new bonds, 

And find your better self 

Self love 

Self worth 

Respect 

And pride 

In you…but to have, is for you to decide. 

A parasite that takes you out of your character

Is a phase that can be destroyed.
