Oil and Water
I googled today
Why oil doesn’t mix with water
It said:
“Oil wants to break down waters hydrogen bonds
So that it may be able to dissolve
Water will not do this
So the oil is forced to stay separate
From the water”
Oil and water do not mix
Because oil wants to improve herself
At the cost of her friends
Hydrogen bonds.
And water wants oil to get better
But cannot risk losing himself
So that she can dissolve
Oil is toxic to the water
And those who hang out
With him
Poisoning the lives of every
Person she touches
No matter how close
Or how far
Oil wants to change
To be better
But she’s already tried mixing with water
And he’s already been tainted
With her venom
The only way to change
Is through a separation funnel
So they do
Go their own ways,
But water is forever changed by oil
And oil has seen nothing
Taken everything
I googled today
Why oil does not mix with water
And instead learned that I am oil
And they are water

I wrote this piece during a rough period in my life and I genuinely did get the idea from googling why oil doesn't mix with water. I'm in a much better place now and am really proud of how this turned out!
