Hazards

The fuel to my soul-burning fire
The leech that feeds on my happiness
The vampire that drains me of pride
The termites that eat away at who I am
Who I want to be
The sharpest knife that stabs my heart
The tiger that tears me apart
Your venom is your words
Melting me away
Painfully, slowly
Only getting worse as time goes by
The maker of my mask
The rays that wither me to dust
As horrible as you may be
I cannot rid you from my life
For now,I must stare you in the eye
Eyes scarier than Death himself
