My Own Supply of Oxygen

You are a draining entity.
An experience remembered,
That sucks and saps up energy.
It is exhausting just to sit...
To listen to your negativity,
With no end to it!
And there is no compromise.
I can close my ears...
But your thoughts stay in my eyes.
And I feel I am hypnotized with a wish...
To identify them everywhere.
You are a killer of fresh air!

You are a draining entity.
An experience remembered,
That sucks and saps up energy.
It is exhausting just to sit...
To listen to your negativity,
With no end to it!
And there is no compromise.
I can close my ears...
But your thoughts stay in my eyes.
And I feel I am hypnotized with a wish...
To identify them everywhere.
You are a killer of fresh air!
And that is why I've considered carrying,
My own supply of oxygen!
