In a toxic place

When you are in a toxic environment the first piece of advice

Is to leave as soon as you can, your peace of mind is the price

That you pay for staying around- you should not pay

The high price in such a situation anyway..

*

It may be the most obvious thing to do

You can run away, but you have nothing to run to

So you decide to stay on despite advice contrary

Because being unmoored is a situation more scary

*

What does not kill you makes you stronger, it’s true

You learn to survive, you learn to navigate through

The turbulent waters of a toxic place

You learn that adversity you can face

Far better than you imagined you could

Amid stormy weather, upright you have stood
