Inflicting Upon the Infection

They say its not looking good that i might lose my toe then they hand me the bill and its of i go now many months later i sit, still in pain with so much to lose and so much to gain i pick up the pin and think of the results of one swift swipe i poke once with that pin and then begin to type i postpone the inevitable i know what i must do i pick up that damn pin and say goodbye to you i look down at my toe i watch the blood pour out i feel my body spasm as i stifle back the shout now no matter what will happen whether death or loss of toe i can say i tried i know, you know, we know.
