Malice

It's difficult to attain,

a heart, in constant refrain,

seeking solace but in vain,

when the mind, being poisoned,

with hatred... 

Malice... 

Might start as innocuous envy,

some irritations, feeling lacking,

as it gradually fill our thoughts, 

with jealousy, and resentments, 

showing targeted hostility... 

It's not easy to catch,

few could perceive or watch,

as it manifests, through mannerism,

in the gaze, or their demeanor,

making us wary... 

Not many are truly evil,

it's the situations that prevail,

unaware, they too fell victim,

planting grudges, in grievances, 

becoming significant, than minor inconveniences. 

Malice...

It's something sad,

why would someone be bad,

when we inherently seek happiness,

a life filled with contentment. 

So, let us be more aware,

mindful of this negative vice,

that might seep inside,

transforming our dissatisfaction,

into something dark...
