Does negativity have a smell?

By Soul Churner

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Lingering as an odor At odds like some disease, Passed down from one hand to another, Interupting all decrees. I, Myself, Am often guilty As a skeptic in my own right. Refusing to be unenthusiastic, An asshole who's impolite. May this leopard change her spottage For a brand new shiny cloak. I'll cover this imbecile side of me And not smell like the butt of this joke.Hey guys! I'm trying to change. If it had a fragrance, then I've been one smelly person.
