Analysis of Poisoned People
Heather Salm 1977 (Ontario)
Poisoned People
Swallow your drama
Drag others into it
You will try
Don't believe the truth
Warm your cups
Drink it up
I won't share this beverage
My soul doesn't need it.

About this poem
How others try and drag you into their drama and lies cause they're bored or miserable and want others to be miserable too.
